About 425 species of birds visit or live in Essex County for all or part of the year. Nearly 130 of these species have nested in the county. The lure for birds of Essex County's varied habitats and unique geography also make the county a premier year-round birding destination for avid birders locally and from across the country. Bird enthusiasts marvel at the majestic flight of eagles, enjoy the flute-like call of a wood thrush, or thrill to the sight of a gannet diving headfirst into the ocean. Essex County Birding Trail.
