Boston Harbor Islands By Boat

Date: Sunday, June 5, 2011
Time: 10:15 AM from Quincy Shipyard, 11:00 AM from Long Wharf, Boston. Returning to Boston at 3:15 PM and Quincy at 4:00 PM. Please be at the dock 30 minutes prior to departure from your location.
Cost: $18 general, $15 BBC member with blue book or club pin
Calling the birds will be our own Tim Factor!
We'll be taking one of the larger boats, either the Island Discovery or
Island Expedition, capacity 150-200.
Please reply to Sylvia Martin by June 1 to reserve a spot. Bring your BBC blue book or other evidence of membership to get $3 off at the dock. Bring extra layers and be prepared for strong breezes. The boat has restrooms and I believe a snack bar. Nonetheless, you might want to bring
a thermos and a bag lunch/snack.
SPECIAL NOTE: This is a harbor trip and not a pelagic, but to bone up on your seabirds, attend the seabird ID workshop by Marshall Iliff at Assabet River NWR a few days earlier, on June 1, sponsored by the BBC.
