Spring Bird Walk
May 18 @ 7:00 am - 9:00 am
Sign Up Here:
Lesley Farlow and Steve Winn, experienced birders and members of the Hampshire Bird Club, will lead a bird walk STARTING AT THE MARIAN ST. ENTRANCE TO THE FITZGERALD LAKE CONSERVATION AREA. Please note: this walk was originally scheduled to start at the Cooke Ave. entrance, but due to the paving of that lot we will now start from the Marian St. entrance, off Coles Meadow Rd. We will look for breeding migrants and resident birds as we pass through a number of different habitats. We should be able to see and hear some migrating warblers, thrushes, vireos, swallows, herons, kingfishers and more. Bring binoculars if you have them. We will have a few extra pairs.
- North Farms Rd. entrance is off Bridge Rd., N. off Mountain St. or N. Maple St. in Florence.
- Cooke Avenue entrance is off Hatfield St., which runs behind the WalMart/Big Y shopping center, to the end of Cooke Avenue (former Moose Lodge). Park only on the right side.
- Coles Meadow Road entrance is on the eastern end of FLCA, about 0.7 miles from North King Street (Routes 5/10). Park carefully on the street.
