Venture every Friday to different hot spots around Essex County with our skilled naturalists to observe a variety of birdlife. This is a great time to welcome in newly arrived migrants from the south. During these walks, we'll search for Northern Shoveler, American Woodcock, Osprey, Gray Catbird, Chipping Sparrow, an exciting list of warblers, and many more. In June, we'll look for breeding birds.
All birding levels welcome. This program meets for three hours every Friday, with a different meeting place each week.
