Plymouth Beach is an important breeding and nesting site for threatened and endangered coastal shorebirds. The barrier beach is also a critical migratory stopover site. Over 20,000 migratory shorebirds use Plymouth Beach as a ”fuel stop” to put on weight before continuing their long distance migrations throughout the hemisphere.
You can see the Birds of Plymouth Beach foraging on mudflats, nesting along the sandy shoreline, diving for fish in Plymouth Harbor and Cape Cod Bay, and resting at high tide in shallow salt marsh. Use the guide to discover, identify, and find out where to look for the birds.
