2008 Bird Walks
Join our experienced leaders on a spring bird walk. Experts and novices are welcome. The leader will direct the group to the most promising birding site of the day. Binoculars, guide books, and waterproof footwear are advisable. Generally, we cover our local sanctuaries and open spaces but also explore areas in both Sherborn and Framingham. Except for our Mother's Day trip to Mt. Auburn Cemetery which begins at 7 a.m., all others commence at 8 a.m. Sundays, from the parking lot at the corner of Cameron and Washington Streets.
