Sponsored by Harwich Conservation Trust (HCT) and Provincetown Conservation Trust (PCT), join field naturalist Peter Trull for an exploration of the dunes, beaches, and the open seas at Race Point Beach in Provincetown. Race Point, the wildest of Cape Cod beaches, often offers views of raptors, alcids, rare gulls, shorebirds, and a myriad of waterfowl. Learn how these birds survive and adapt to extreme conditions during the winter months. We will practice identifying, observe behaviors, and discover the life history of each species we come across.

Birding enthusiasts from all experience levels are welcome. Please dress warm and bring binoculars.
