Family Winter Birding

During the cold winter months, Boston becomes home to a remarkable variety of birds that either migrate here or brave the season alongside us. Explore the winter landscape and discover the diverse avian life that thrives here, from cheerful cardinals and dark-eyed juncos to sparrows, robins, and even majestic hawks and owls.

Learn to identify these winter residents and understand their behaviors, habitats, and survival strategies in the colder season. Whether you're new to birdwatching or looking to sharpen your identification skills, you'll build confidence in spotting and recognizing the species that make Boston their winter home. We provide all equipment, including binoculars and field guides, so you can focus entirely on observing and connecting with the natural world around you.
