Saturday Morning Bird Walk

Description

On this guided walk, our naturalist leads you through the trails surrounding Blue Hills Trailside Museum, helping everyone find and identify what we see and hear while sharing the ecology and conservation needs of local birds.

Many migratory birds have headed south for the season, but dedicated cold-weather residents like Pileated Woodpecker, Red-breasted Nuthatch, and Brown Creeper are still active in the Blue Hills—and easier to spot now that the leaves are down.

All levels welcome.

Checking registration status.
