SUMMARY:CANCELLED Squantum Point Park (Early Birders Series)
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED TODAY. The leader is feeling ill and can’t make it.  \nJoin 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)! \nDress 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). \nThis trip is specifically dedicated to those aged 20-39 years. Please do not bring children. \nWe 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. \nThere 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.

DESCRIPTION:Join fellow birders in their 20s-30s as we visit Fresh Pond Reservation! Located in the northwest part of Cambridge\, Fresh Pond is home to 162 acres of space consisting of forests\, meadows\, wetlands\, and open water. As we navigate our way around the 2.5 mile park loop trail\, expect to see all kinds of songbirds\, waterbirds\, and spring migrants (especially warblers!) as we reach peak migration time in Massachusetts! \nIf you’re interested\, stick around afterwards and we may walk over to Mount Auburn Cemetery for more birding! \nWhether you’re a newcomer looking to start a new hobby or are a seasoned bird expert\, birders of all experience levels in their 20s and 30s are encouraged to join! Let’s connect through our mutual appreciation for birds and the environment! Hope to see you there! \nDress for the weather conditions; bring water! Expect to walk approximately 3 miles on mostly paved/level paths. Bring binoculars if you have them; loaners are available on request (please email the trip leader ahead of time). Port-a-potties are available at the ranger station on the south side of the park. \nThis trip is specifically dedicated to those aged 20-39 years. Please do not bring children. \nPlan to meet at the first intersection south of the park entrance across the street from 603 Concord Ave. You will be in the right place if you are approaching an open area (Lusitania Field). Meeting location coordinates: 42.38801\, -71.14504. \nParking is available at designated areas at the southern edge of the park (Huron Ave.)\, but this is very limited. We can recommend parking at the Alewife T station and walking 15 minutes to the meeting location. Cambridge has strict parking restrictions and you may risk your car getting towed if you park elsewhere. There are some metered/time-limited parking spots on Wheeler St\, Fawcett St\, and Concord Ave. Don’t park in store lots (risk of towing). Cambridge residents with sticker can park in the Fresh Pond parking lots.
