Ipswich River Canoe Trip and Bird Survey
Saturday, May 24, 6:00 a.m.

Contact person: Phil Brown nebirds.plus@verizon.net
Please join us and participate in the 102nd 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.
