Spring Bird Walk
April 27, 2019 @ 7:00 am - 9:00 am
Led by Marcia Merithew and Betsy Higgins
(rain date Sun. 4/28)
Meet at North Farms Rd. entrance
Spring is in the air –time to get out and go birding! At this time of year residents and returning migrants alike are bursting with song as they busy themselves with the urgent task of finding mates and building nests. Join Hampshire Bird Club’s Marcia Merithew and Betsy Higgins as we walk through forest and wetland habitats and continue on to the more open spaces of the dam and Cooke’s Pasture. Probable sightings include swallows, thrushes, woodpeckers, vireos, and early warblers as well as herons, ducks, and geese.
Suitable for all ages and skill levels. Bring binoculars and field guides if you have them.

- 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.
