Walk: Spring Is for Birds
April 28, 2018 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am
Walk/talk with Mike Locher
Spring is the ideal time to go out birding, as residents and returning migrants alike busy themselves with the urgent task of finding mates and building nests. Join Hampshire Bird Club’s Mike Locher 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.
