Mass Audubon's Cuttyhunk and Elizabeth Island Tours Sundays: Jul 26th, Aug 2nd, Aug 16th, Sep 20th and Sep 27th

Join us for a day-long excursion to Cuttyhunk Island, off the southern coast of Massachusetts. The cruise will depart from Woods Hole and will take us through Vineyard Sound and along the Elizabeth Islands. Experienced Mass Audubon naturalists will provide commentary focusing on landmarks, geology, wildlife, and the history of the quiet, protected islands. Along the way, we'll look for endangered Roseate Terns and other species of seabirds and waterfowl.

We'll spend four hours on Cuttyhunk enjoying the quaint village, harbor, and scenic views from the top of Lookout Hill, 150 feet above sea level. We will spend time exploring the islands habitats for migratory songbirds and watching from Lookout Hill for passing raptors, on their journey southward for the winter. Participants will have a choice of a short, medium or long guided walk. The long hike has more of a focus on birds and natural history while the shorter hikes focus on island history and landmarks. During the long hike, we will pass by land owned by Mass Audubon. All hikes go to Lookout Hill. Afterwards, you will have time to visit a gift shop, take a swim, or explore the beaches.

Mass Audubon's Two Island Tour: Cuttyhunk and Penikese Islands Sundays: Aug 30th and Sep 13th
