Spring Birding


Adult & Family Programs / Nature & Outdoors -
Prescott CC - 2026 PROGRAM CATALOG

Spring bird migration is one of nature’s greatest annual events. Billions of migratory birds leave their wintering grounds and travel to their northern habitats for food and breeding. Some make a quick stop in New England before heading farther north, while others raise their young here. We will observe these migrating birds as spring progresses during our walks. Please wear appropriate shoes for walking, as some terrain may be uneven. 

*IMPORTANT: The locations for the guided walks will be announced one week before each walk, matching the migration status. The currently listed locations for each walk are educated guesses but may change. You will be notified by our office, the instructor, and the website about the location for each walk.**

Instructor

Scott Wilson


Scott Wilson grew up in Connecticut and later moved to Massachusetts to be closer to work as an ABA Therapist. Since then, he has met his lovely wife Jamie and both have gratefully welcomed their daughter Mazie into the world. They are frequently out hiking and enjoying all forms of nature as much as possible. Scott hopes that he can introduce the beauty of birds to those who have limited opportunities.
