Bird Watching off the Coast of Cape Ann
7 Seas is proud to be gaining the reputation as “the birder’s whale watch” in Gloucester. While the whales are, of course, the main focus of most of our trips, many of our crew are also avid bird watchers and are always aware of any birds in the area. We make a special point to make sure that any birders onboard don’t miss any rare (or common!) species that we encounter.
To learn A LOT more about the species we commonly see, and get tips on identification, just select any of the links in the table below:

For birders wishing to find out more about bird watching on land around the Cape Ann/North Shore area a couple of great resources are Sue McGrath's NEWBURYPORT BIRDER'S website, and Tom Wetmore's PLUM ISLAND site. For the most recent bird sightings in all of Massachusetts you can also check-out the MASSACHUSETTS BIRDING LIST.
Good luck and good birding!
