Bird Walk at Moswetuset Hummock, Quincy

Perched above Quincy Bay, Moswetuset Hummock is one of the area's most distinctive natural and historical landmarks, with rewarding opportunities for birding if you know what to look for.

Walk the quarter-mile perimeter trail with a Boston Nature Center naturalist, scanning the surrounding salt marshes and bay views for shorebirds, herons, and songbirds drawn to this small but significant forested habitat.

As you bird, learn about the hummock's place on the National Register of Historic Places and how climate change is reshaping coastal environments like this one. This short walk is packed with history, geology, and fascinating birdlife.
