Description
Step onto the trail for a guided hike through the Blue Hills, where birdsong fills the forest and discovery waits around every bend. Along the way, learn about local breeding birds, especially the Wood Thrush, known for its rich, flute-like song echoing through the trees. Explore how to identify these birds, tell them apart from other thrushes, and uncover the science behind their beautiful voices. From their incredible journeys to the threats they face, this experience offers a closer look at how we can help protect these forest musicians.
