Experience the magic of the Isles of Shoals in early fall. Spending three nights on Appledore Island will give us the opportunity to explore the diversity of the islands. Over 200 species of songbirds, seabirds, and waterfowl occur on Appledore as migrants – making it a perfect spot to observe fall movements.
The Appledore Island Migration Banding Station will be in operation and we will have the chance to observe songbird migrants up close.
In addition to all the spectacular birding that the islands have to offer, we will take time to explore other aspects of Appledore, Shoals Marine Laboratory, and Celia Thaxter’s garden. Activities may include exploring the intertidal, an island history walk, or learning about SML’s innovative research programs focused on understanding and sustaining the marine environment.
