Mid-Spring Bird Walk
May 2, 2021 @ 7:00 am - 9:00 am
Laura Beltran, long-time birder and an educator at Arcadia Wildlife Sanctuary, will lead this bird walk along Boggy Meadow Road to the Fitzgerald Lake dam. In early May many boreal migrants are passing through our area, and residents and breeding migrants are establishing territories and beginning to nest. We will look and listen for warblers, thrushes, vireos, swallows, herons, and more. Bring binoculars.
Due to the continuing coronavirus situation in western Mass., we will be limiting participation to 10 attendees (in addition to walk leaders), and require that all persons wear a mask and remain six feet apart.
To sign up for this walk, please send an email to Dave Pritchard at Registrar.BroadBrookCoalition@gmail.com indicating how many people you will have in your party. We will accommodate as many attendees as we can on a first-come first-serve basis. Please check the Broad Brook website (broadbrookcoalition.org) for more information on this programs, or call Dave Pritchard (413-268-3668) or Dick Wynne (413-584-7930).
