SUMMARY:Mystic River Reservation (Early Birders Series)
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow birders in their 20s-30s as we visit Mystic River State Reservation! Located just north of Boston in Medford\, Mystic River Reservation is a state nature reserve home to over 300 acres of space in a riverfront setting. As we navigate our way around the 2.3 mile park loop trail\, expect to see all kinds of songbirds\, sparrows\, and hawks. If you have any questions\, reach out to the trip leader! \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 2-3 miles on mostly paved/level paths. We will start in the parking lot and make our way counter-clockwise around the park back to where we started. Bring binoculars if you have them; loaners are available on request (please email the trip leader ahead of time). Please be aware/respectful of cyclists that use the park. \nThis trip is specifically dedicated to those aged 20-39 years. Please do not bring children. \n	Plan to meet at the parking lot adjacent to the police station at the northern portion of the park (along Rt. 16). Meeting location coordinates: 42.40421\, -71.08530. \nFree public parking is available at the meeting area (preferred) and at the boat house on the other side of the river. \n	If you are coming from Boston\, take the Orange Line to the Wellington T stop and walk about 0.5 miles to get to the meeting location (cross the elevated walkway and pass the police station to get to the parking lot). If you are coming from the north\, you can take a 100\, 108\, or 134 bus to the Fellsway @ Middlesex Ave – Wellington Circle bus stop and cross the intersection. Otherwise the Orange Line from Malden Center (numerous transit connections) is your best bet. \nIf you have any questions\, reach out to the trip leader!
