Arlington Reservoir
Visit Arlington Reservoir and the adjacent Lexington Community Farm to search for late winter lingerers and early migrants. Cosponsored with Menotomy Bird club.
Mass. Audubon Boston Nature Center
Join us to observe resident birds and early spring migrants in a unique urban habitat that is a favorite for many bird species, including uncommon and rare birds. Birders of all levels will enjoy this walk. The trails are flat and easy to walk. Be sure to wear a hat, waterproof footwear, and bring water.
Mt Auburn Cemetery
Mount Auburn Cemetery is lovely in all seasons. In late March, we may see the very earliest migrants from the south (Red-winged Blackbird, others) as well as the remaining seasonal visitors from the north (e.g. White-throated Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco). And our usual year-round resident species will have just started to sing!

March 28, 2026Alewife Brook Reservation (Early Birders Series)
CANCELLED Pine Hill Road Grasslands (was rescheduled from March 14)
We scheduled this trip too early. It was a mistake in retrospect. We are cancelling this trip. The birding will get better in mid to late April. We have trips in May and June that will be in prime season for this location.
Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge
Mount Auburn Cemetery is lovely in all seasons. In late March, we may see the very earliest migrants from the south (Red-winged Blackbird, others) as well as the remaining seasonal visitors from the north (e.g. White-throated Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco). And our usual year-round resident species will have just started to sing!
Franklin Park – Scarboro Pond
We will look for early spring migrants in Franklin Park. Beginners welcome and encouraged. Expect to walk up to 2 miles on paved paths. Loaner binoculars available. Co-sponsored with the Franklin Park Coalition and Franklin Park Tennis Association.
Alewife Brook Reservation (Early Birders Series)
Join fellow birders in their 20s-30s on a field trip to visit Alewife Brook Reservation! Located in North Cambridge, Alewife Brook is host to a variety of resident & migratory bird species in an urban forest/wetland setting. As we navigate the park, expect to see your typical songbirds, waterfowl, and early spring migrants. Dress warmly
