SUMMARY:Great Neck\, Ipswich -- CANCELLED due to leader being unavailable
DESCRIPTION:Great Neck offers a variety of habitats in a concentrated area. This is a recipe for migrants\, and the island’s position in the region –sandwiched between Crane Beach and Plum Island– is a great catchpoint for birds stopping over. Shorebirds and waders (tide-depending) gather in Plum Island Sound. Early songbird migrants drop into the woods by Clark Pond. There will be minimal driving; the majority of time will be spent at the best vantage points\, with some moderate walking on even terrain.
