Program for Sunday, January 16, 2022

Vast flocks of robins, waterfowl galore, several species of hawks and owls and the occasional appearance of unusual vagrants make for plentiful birding opportunities on the Cape in the winter. Join the delightful Mark Faherty as he shares details of the most recent notable sightings and results from the Christmas Bird Count. There will be plenty of time set aside for Mark to answer your birding questions.
