Great Misery Island Birding and Nature Tour with Chris Leahy

Explore the birds and environments of Great Misery Island.

With 83 acres of varied habitats, Great Misery Island – now protected by The Trustees - offers a fascinating mix of natural and human history. On this 3.5-hour trip (including 30-minute boat ride each way), you will explore these varied elements with naturalist and Cape Ann resident, Chris Leahy. Of special interest will be the commencement of fall bird migration. We will spend the morning walking slowly on well-maintained trails, some of which go uphill, but not very steeply. Comfortable shoes, sunscreen and insect/tick repellant are recommended.
