Ipswich River Canoe Trip and Bird Survey
Event Coordinator: Dave Brewster (brewbird@verizon.net [preferred contact] | cell: 978-317-0230)
Participate in the 113th ECOC birding trip down the Ipswich River! Arguably the oldest uninterrupted bird-count in the world, this event is timed to get the best views of birds before full leaf-out, but late enough in the season to get better weather for paddling. Contact Dave for details.
Wednesday, June 5, 6:15pm to 9 pm

Walk leader: Jim Berry (978-356-5505 | jim.berry3@verizon.net)
