Spring Bird Walk
May 9 @ 7:30 am - 10:00 am
Lesley Farlow and Steve Winn, experienced birders and members of the Hampshire Bird Club, will lead a bird walk along the Marian St. Trail to the bird blind, along the Boggy Meadow and Pines Edge Trails for a total of about 2 miles. 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, Wood Thrushes, and Red-eyed Vireos. We may see Tree Swallows, Great Blue Herons, Belted Kingfishers, and more. We will have a few extra pairs of binoculars, if needed. Co-sponsored by Hampshire Bird Club. For directions to the Marian St. entrance see broadbrookcoalition.org/about-fitzgerald-lake/how-to-visit.
