Two habitats a five-minute walk apart: a saltmarsh with rails and raptors, and a fishing pier that puts you out over the Sound with the scoters and loons. The best cold-weather half-day on this list if you don't want to commit to a hike.
Alcids move north past the pier; the marsh greens up.
Guillemots nest under the ferry dock.
Loons and grebes reappear on the Sound.
The best sea-duck watching in the county.
