birding groups one could join would be appreciated.

Thanks.
Joe

Wow, do you have some great birding hotspots to visit.  Newburyport and the
Parker River National Wildlife Refuge;  Gloucester and Rockport in winter;
Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge in spring; Cape Cod (especially Manamoy).
Do yourself a favor and purchase "A Birder's Guide To Eastern Massachusetts" by
Bird Observer ($18.95 from ABA Sales at
http://www.americanbirding.org/abasales/catbrg22.htm ) It is an excellent site
guide to the entire region.

Good luck and good birding.

There are a number of books on bird finding in Mass. Go to the American
Birding Association site and look in their ABA Sales catalog. Their url is
http://www.americanbirding.org  (well worth joining by the way)

There are many superb sites in E. Mass. To mention just a few:
1. Newburyport & the Merrimack River in winter
2. Parker River NWR (also near Newburyport) all seasons, especially Fall &
winter
3. Monomoy NWR - superb shorebirding, especially fall (on Cape Cod)
4. Ipswich
5. Gloucester & Cape Ann - especially in late fall & winter.
6. Nantucket

There also may bird clubs including the oldest one in America.
The Rare Bird Alert number for E. Mass is (781) 259-8805
