CANCELLED TODAY. The leader is feeling ill and can’t make it.

Join fellow birders in their 20s-30s as we visit Squantum Point Park! Located in northern Quincy along the coast, Squantum Point is a former naval airfield turned birding hotspot in the Boston vicinity. Thanks to the variety of habitats found in the park, it provides unique opportunities to get great looks at migrating species! As we navigate the park, expect to see resident species, lingering coastal ducks, and spring migrants (shorebirds)!

Dress for the weather! If it is a forecast to be a windy day, expect higher winds as we will be along the coast. Expect to walk approximately 1-2 miles on paved/dirt paths and potentially sand. We will likely do some stationary birding on the coast if the weather is nice. Bring binoculars if you have them; loaners are available on request (please email the trip leader).

This trip is specifically dedicated to those aged 20-39 years. Please do not bring children.

We will meet at the entrance to the park in the south portion (left end as you enter)  of the large parking lot at the end of Miwra Haul Rd. Do not be concerned if parts of the lot are closed with orange cones, the police frequently use the parking lot for training exercises. If you have any concerns, feel free to contact the trip leader. Meeting location coordinates: 42.29854, -71.03420.

There is plenty of public parking at the meeting location. Public transit access to Squantum Point is limited. If you are taking the T via the red line, you can get off at North Quincy and either catch a 211 bus to the E Squantum St opp Heath St stop and walk the 25 minutes to the parking lot or walk straight from the North Quincy station to the park (~45 mins). If you would like to attend this trip and have concerns about transportation, please contact the trip leader.
