Watch waterbirds.

The Sippican Lands Trust and Nasketucket Bird Club will team up for a bird watching session (called a duck waddle)at 9 a.m. After meeting at the Silvershell Beach parking area, the group will carpool to overlooks and Lands Trust properties around Marion to birdwatch.

Some sites may require a quarter mile walk for water views. Organizers suggest participants bring water, binoculars and dress appropriately for the day’s weather.

 If the Duck Waddle is canceled due to inclement weather, information will be posted to the Lands Trust’s website and Facebook page. For directions or further information visit sippicanlandstrust.org or call Sippican Lands Trust at 508-748-3080
