We are happy to offer this shorebirding field trip at Winthrop Beach led by Soheil Zendeh.

Shorebirding beginners welcome.

We meet at the corner of Winthrop Shore Drive and Sturgis St in Winthrop. A scope will probably be useful if you have one. Definitely bring binoculars. Meeting at 9 am, timed with the tide.

Soheil is giving a webinar for the club on For over 50 years, Soheil Zendeh has been monitoring shorebirds populations in Massachusetts and elsewhere. Over the past 35 years there have been drastic drops in most shorebird populations, particularly long distance migratory birds from the Arctic. He is the author of New England Shorebird Guide, a web-based field guide for New England shorebirders focused on helping introductory to medium level observers. His field guide is hosted on the Bird Observer website.
