SUMMARY:Bear Creek Sanctuary (on behalf of Soheil Zendeh and WINWaste)
DESCRIPTION:Bear Creek is an upland sanctuary built on the WINWaste (formerly Wheelabrator) landfill at the northeast corner of Rumney Marsh in Saugus and Revere. Access information is below. Wear waterproof walking shoes and be prepared to hike 3 – 4 miles. The property is mostly very open\, so be prepared for sun\, wind and weather. With melting snow and possible refreezing at night\, trail conditions may be particularly messy this time. Consider waterproof boots (at least ankle height) and traction aids. \nThis walk is free and open to the public\, but also note that this property is accessible by invitation only and visitors need to be chaperoned at all times. Please allow roughly 4 hours for this field trip. The actual length of the trip depends on conditions and the birds present. It’s usually difficult to break up the party if you need to be somewhere in the early afternoon. Come prepared to stay with the group until the walk ends. \nWINWaste company has graciously stocked up on some extra pairs of binoculars\, so if you or someone you know wants to learn about birds and birding\, come on down. Please let Geoff Wilson s2ary@comcast.net know you’re coming so we can have a head count. \nBear Creek Sanctuary access is via the WINWaste plant\, 100 Salem Turnpike (Rte 107)\, Saugus. The rotary at the intersection of Rtes 60 and 107 is about 1½ miles southwest of the plant and about 1 mile east of Rte 1 exit on Rte 60. When traveling northeast on 107\, if you go over the Ballard Street bridge (just after a set of lights) you’ve gone too far — turn back. There is a direct link for Google maps on this page\, below or to the right. \nWhen you arrive\, drive through the plant gates\, park in the parking lot immediately and wait for the group. Please do not drive farther into the property without an escort.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED Deer Island & Boston Harbor\, Winthrop
DESCRIPTION:We’re cancelling for a number of reasons. The walkways are in terrible condition\, varying from deep snow to icy paths. Weather looks iffy for Saturday. Also\, two of the leaders are unavailble. \nWe are considering finding a day later in March for a last-of-season trip to Deer Island. If we do\, we’ll post it and announce it as widely as we can. \nWe will search for wintering seabirds\, alcids\, and Iceland Gulls. Be prepared for cold and wind and dress very warmly. Depending on conditions\, we will walk up to 2.6 miles on paved paths. Port-a-potties available midway. Beginners welcome and encouraged. Bad weather or poor walking conditions may cancel – email trip leaders if you are unsure. \nThe start time is timed to the tides. \nLeaving early is possible if you can’t be there for the whole time. You would head back before we get to the halfway point. \n

SUMMARY:Revere Beach Pop-up trip for Gulls (Gullapalooza)
DESCRIPTION:We are adding a trip to Revere Beach where a lot of gulls are present due to winter storms throwing up or exposing clams on the beach for them to eat. Large number of gulls including possibly rare gulls are there. We’ll do our best to sort through the gulls for rare ones and to work on identifying common gulls that haven’t reach adult plumage yet.  \nWe may have to traverse deep snow\, probably places where people have walked but it isn’t fully packed. Also might be messy conditions on the beach below the high tide point. Could be pretty cold. Dress for the expected conditions. \nBring a scope if you can. \nThere are good bathroom facilities at the meeting spot.  \nLow tide is 11:41 am. We want a lower tide to expose the food and give room for everything going on.

SUMMARY:Gulls at Revere Beach
DESCRIPTION:Following the recent talk by Amar Ayyash\, author of The Gull Guide\, we will have a gull focused field trip at Revere Beach. Our trip will be about appreciating gulls\, basic to advanced gull ID\, and rare and unusual gulls. We may move to other locations based on recent reports but will start at the listed meeting spot. For those arriving by public transport\, we expect there will be spontaneous car pooling to bring everyone along.
