GREAT bird pics, Marslet! Strangely enough, the only bird I recognized was the Dickcissel! What a neat bird trip this must have been.
At the north of MA, on the southern section of Plum Island, where I spent all my early summers, the Parker River Wildlife Refuge is a birders' paradise, I am told. In the days when I used to go there, it was just wild, free beach and dunes, and we could camp (in tents back then) anywhere. No camping is allowd any mre, which is probably a good thing as some campers were not as conscientious about preserving the dunes as we were. Has anyone ever been there? Newburyport (pronounced Newbryport, NOT Newberry port!) is also a famous old fishing community which has been preserved and updated. They have done a wonderful job here. My mother was born in Anna Jacques Hospital there, and my great Aunt lived in Newburyport until she died. I need to get back in that area and see about visiting old haunts. Salisbury Beach has a campground, just over the border in NH. Must check that out.
