Join field naturalist and author Peter Trull at the A. Janet DeFulvio Wildlife Sanctuary Boardwalk for a “Big Sit”, a one-hour program where participants will watch from the boardwalk overlooking marsh habitat to see what birds are present or flying by. 

The waterfowl are pouring in during December! Dabblers like gadwall, teal, pintails and northern shovellers, as well as the diving ducks like ring-necked, buffleheads, mergansers and even grebes are all exploiting the rich habitats including the ponds and estuaries found at Harwich’s conservation lands. Songbirds like yellow-rumped warblers, eastern bluebirds and sparrows are out and about, searching for food. The bare trees allow for unobstructed observations.
