Birdphotography in Boston area ?

Hi, I will be going to Boston and Cape Cod in the middle of October to spend 4-5 days. As I am not familiar with the area I would like to ask you, if there is some recommendable places for birdphotography within an hours drive from Boston or Cape Cod.

In particular I would love to photograph shorebirds and raptors, if they haven't all left for the south already ?

How about pelagic birds ? Any recommendable tours/boats ?

best regards,

Helge

Thanks for that, Bob - I will def. check Plum Island out.

Cheers, Helge

Helge,
I f you are on the Cape there is a bird reserve that you might be able to get to. This is the off season and I don't know if the boat is still running. The Bird reserve is Monomoy National Wildlife preserve:
