Birding Adventures

Seabrook is a bird sanctuary on one of the largest migratory paths in North America. With a diverse habitat of both fresh and salt marsh, bay shoreline, riparian and upland woodlands, over 300 species of birds have been identified.

Some of the city’s parks make bird watching a treat, providing viewing platforms and water holes that attract osprey, waxwings, warblers, sandpipers, buntings, and many migrant songbirds.
