Led by DCR Park Staff. Come observe the beautiful details of birds and their behaviors and share observations with others in the group. Pose questions and memories that observations elicit. Birds we expect to see include Piping Plover, Manx Shearwater, Common Tern and resident gulls. Ages: adults and children 8 years + with an adult [...]

All the nesting birds will still be around, with good views of young out of the nest being fed by parents: Veery, Indigo Bunting, Catbird, Red-winged Blackbird, Tree Swallow, Bobolink, Wood Thrush, Baltimore Oriole, and Warblers. Expect to walk about 2 miles on trails through meadow and woods with some steep sections.

Includes three to five miles of walking relatively flat terrain. Might include some bushwacking. Driving on hard packed dirt roads.

We walk through the sanctuary looking for shorebirds and other marsh specialties. Targets will be waders, breeding songbirds, Saltmarsh Sparrows, and maybe even a lucky Seaside Sparrow. The walking is moderate and trails are accessible. It may be warm and there will be bugs!

Stroll along an easy to walk paved path. Possible sightings include Wood Ducks, Yellow Warbler, Warbling Vireo, and Great Blue Heron. Cosponsored with Waltham :Land Trust and Menotomy Bird Club.
