Bird Watching: Spring Bird Migration
Nature & Outdoors
Spring bird migration is one of nature’s greatest annual journeys. Billions of migratory birds leave their wintering grounds and travel to their northern home for food and breeding. Some make a brief stop in New England before flying farther north and some raise their young here. We will observe these migrating birds as spring unfolds in the 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 likely change. You will be notified by our office, the instructor, and website about the location for each walk.** Saturday, Mar 29, 8:00-10:00 AM LOCATION: Farandnear Reservation, 156 Center Rd, Shirley, MA 01464 Saturday, Apr 12, 8:00-10:00 AM LOCATION: Pine Meadow Pond Conservation Area, 73 Groton-Harvard Rd, Ayer, https://maps.app.goo.gl/Fa1N4PsbLztf8wrcA Saturday, Apr 26, 8:00-10:00 AM LOCATION: Oxbow Middlesex, 85 Walker Rd, Shirley, MA 01464, Google location: 42.560663, -71.616725 Saturday, May 10, 6:30-8:30 PM LOCATION: Bolton Flats Wildlife Management Area Parking, Bolton, MA 01740, Google Location: 42.4695880, -71.6551578 Saturday, May 24, 8:00-10:00 AM LOCATION: Heald Street Orchard, Heald Street, Pepperell, MA 01463, Google location: 42°40'15.6"N 71°37'20.3"W
