    A GUIDE TO BIRDING ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD Richard M.

Of the 357 species, approxiMately 275 are regular, occuring annually. The variety of species present and the overall charM of the Vineyard Make it a fun place to bird. The Island is reached by ferry froM Woods Hole and if you plan to tahe your car it is very advisable, if not a necessity, to Make advance res- ervations with the SteaMship Authority for both in-season and out-of~ season trips. And heré a note of caution: Much of the property around the ponds and access to Many of the back areas is private property and posted. The areas discussed in this article are open to the public and offer a good cross-section of Vineyard birding areas. If there are private areas you want to cover, be sure to obtain perMission before entering them. The Vineyard is roughly triangular in shape with the base of the triangle twenty Miles, east to west, and the height, north to south, ten Miles. It is of glacial origin with Much of the north shore hilly and forMed by glacial Morain. To the south there are broad, fíat outwash plains cut by Many fresh water or brackish ponds separated froM the ocean by bar- rier beaches, Probably the best tiMe to bird the Vineyard is the Month of SepteMber.

Conclusion Appendices A1 Commonwealth Road and Bridge Policy A2 Air Quality Conformity Documentation A3 Participants and Meetings A4 Endorsement 3 Preface The Martha's Vineyard Regional Transportation Plan is updated every three years. It outlines the Vineyard’s transportation issues and outlines proposals to deal with them. The Martha’s Vineyard Commission serves as one of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ thirteen Regional Planning Agencies. Ten of these thirteen regional planning agencies are federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO). The federal regulations require that an MPO be formed in urbanized areas with a population of 50,000 or more. While Martha’s Vineyard as well the Franklin County and Nantucket regions do not meet these criteria, the Executive Office of Transportation and Construction and the Massachusetts Highway Department provide planning funds for transportation planning in these regions, and essentially treat them as MPOs.

  • Overlooked by Many Boaters, Mount Hope Bay Offers a Host of Attractive Spots in Which to Wile Away a Day—Or Week—On the Water
    DESTINATION MOUNT HOPE BAY The author’s boat, Friendship, at anchor in Church’s Cove. Overlooked by many boaters, Mount Hope Bay offers a host of attractive spots in which to wile away a day—or week—on the water. BY CAPTAIN DAVE BILL PHOTOGRAPHY BY CATE BROWN ount Hope Bay, shared by Massachusetts and Rhode Island, doesn’t get a lot of attention from boaters. But it should. The bay is flled with interesting places to dock, drop an anchor or explore in a small boat, so you could fll an entire week visiting a new spot every day. Every summer, I spend a signifcant amount of time on the bay aboard a 36- foot Union cutter, so I’ve gotten to know and love this body of water, which offers everything from interesting things to see and do to great dock-and-dine restaurants to scenic spots where one can drop the hook and take a dip. Here are some of my favorite places to visit, as well as some points of interest. The main gateway to Mount Hope Bay (which is named after a small hill on its western shore) is via the center span of the Mount Hope Bridge, with Hog Island Shoal to port and Musselbed Shoals to starboard. You can also enter, from the north, via the Taunton River, and from the south, via the Sakonnet River. Although the Army Corps of Engineers maintains a 35-foot-deep shipping channel through the bay up to Fall River, be mindful of navigational aids that mark obstructions such as Spar Island or Old Bay Rock.
