Birds & Birding at Arcadia

Arcadia hosts a wide variety of birds year-round. In fact, Arcadia has the most observed species in central and western MA on eBird. Our diverse range of healthy habitats creates opportunities for birders to see an abundance of species in one trip. Look for Bobolinks and American Kestrels in summer, Northern Harrier in the winter, Bald Eagles year-round in addition to more common Massachusetts species.  

Join a weekly bird walk, a focused birding program, or venture out on a self-guided birding experience.
