Located in the Forest Hills neighborhood of Boston\, Arnold Arboretum is a 281-acre public preserve home to an extensive collection of flora from across the globe. As we navigate through the park’s hills and gardens\, expect to see late fall residents & migrants (keep an eye out for warblers!). We have no set path for this trip and will follow our eyes and ears to find the birdiest spots in the park. \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! Expect to walk on mostly paved or gravel paths through hills. We will start our walk near South Street Gate and visit Bussey Hill and Peter’s Hill. Bring binoculars if you have them; loaners are available on request (please email the trip leader ahead of time). \nThis trip is specifically dedicated to those in their 20s and 30s. Please do not bring children. \nPlan to meet at the intersection of Hemlock Hill Rd and Valley Rd inside the park (near South Street Gate across the street from Bussey Brook Meadow). Meeting location coordinates: 42.29791\, -71.12277. \nParking: Free parking is available along the Arborway\, Flora Way\, and Walter Street. \nTransit Directions: Arnold Arboretum is accessible via the T’s Orange Line (Forest Hills) and various bus routes. See the MBTA’s bus map for bus routes. Once you arrive at Forest Hills\, make sure you enter the park via South Street or Forest Hill Rd and follow either of these roads until you reach Beech Path. Follow Beech Path until it terminates and you will be at the meeting location. There is currently construction at the Washington Street entrance and so that path is temporarily closed.

There will be a social hour starting at 6:30 and the meeting itself will start at 7:00PM. Free parking at Harvard’s 52 Oxford Street Garage starting at 5:30PM.  The garage is entered across from the intersection of Oxford and Everett Streets. \nRegister for the Zoom webinar broadcast of the meeting. \nAmong the world’s “seabirds\,” gulls are the most accessible to humans\, invading our most immediate surroundings. Gulls are sometimes perceived as second class avian creatures. This\, along with the identification challenges they present and their readiness to hybridize\, creates a love-hate relationship for many birders. Yet some gull species are among the most coveted birds on any birder’s list (think Ross’s Gull and Ivory Gull). This makes for an interesting juxtaposition. Do we like some gulls and look past others? \nAmar Ayyash is both an expert on the gulls of North America and an evangelist for “gull recreation.” He coordinates the IOS Annual Gull Frolic on Lake Michigan\, hosts the popular website anythinglarus.com\, and he speaks at birding events throughout the continent. Much of his free time is dedicated to traveling the world to photograph and study gulls. Amar is the author of the authoritative guide to North American Gulls\, The Gull Guide. \nCopies of The Gull Guide will be for sale by the author. \nFollowing up on the evening’s presentation\, the BBC will offer two field trips focused on gull identification: \n\n11/15 at Revere Beach\, 10AM\n12/6 at Winthrop Beach\, 7:30AM\n\n  \n  URL:https://www.brooklinebirdclub.org/tripevent/fall-meeting-with-amar-ayash-author-of-the-gull-guide/ LOCATION:Harvard University Geological Lecture Hall\, 24 Oxford St.\, Cambridge\, MA\, 02138\, United States CATEGORIES:Meeting ORGANIZER;CN="Cliff Cook":MAILTO:ccook13@gmail.com GEO:42.3781869;-71.1154884 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Harvard University Geological Lecture Hall 24 Oxford St. Cambridge MA 02138 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=24 Oxford St.:geo:-71.1154884,42.3781869 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251107T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251107T090000 DTSTAMP:20260420T183141 CREATED:20250922T172318Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250922T172320Z UID:10002322-1762498800-1762506000@www.brooklinebirdclub.org SUMMARY:Fresh Pond\, Cambridge DESCRIPTION:An easy 2-mile walk through pondside meadows and forest paths at Fresh Pond.

Participants may call Craig the night before to check on his plans (781-322-0306). It’s generally not a very early start. Please check with Craig to find out when he expects to be there. \nPinnacle Rock location is in the southeast corner of Middlesex Fells Reservation\, Malden\, Massachusetts. \nFinding Pinnacle Rock seems to present a problem. Although there is a map of the site on Hawkcount.org. that will get you in the right vicinity\, the trail signs for the Rock are not very helpful and may indeed lead you astray. There are two entrance gates that can be used to find Pinnacle Rock – Gate 52 and Gate 56. If this is your first time getting to the Rock\, I highly recommend that you use Gate 52 as the white blazes will lead you directly to Pinnacle Rock. Also\, though the route is longer\, it is less strenuous. Once you know where the Rock is\, you can more easily take the shorter and more direct (more strenuous) route from Gate 56. \nTo get to gate 52 first find the first parking lot on Fellsway East [in Medford]\, just north of East Border Road. The map at the parking lot will indicate the Rock; it’s in the extreme southeast corner of the Fells Reservation. Cross the road and head south toward East Border Road. Shortly on your left will be gate 52. Follow the Rock Circuit Trail (white blazes). It will lead you right onto the Rock. When you get there\, the only hill to the south will be an old metal tower with a radio antennae/ airport beacons? [Some of them were round disks\, but as of this writing only one remains]. \nTo get to gate 56\, park on Woodland right off East Border Road. The gate will be directly opposite Woodland on East Border Road. [On the map this is labeled Pinnacle Rock Path]. Walk up the path to the crest of the hill. The radio tower will be on your right. [The white blazes here will lead you to the tower. However\, if you go this way it is a more difficult climb. You will have to continue following the blazes to the Rock which is north of the tower]. The less strenuous way is to continue past the path to the tower. On your right you will see the Rock. At the top of the hill on your right you will see a fallen tree trunk lying on the ground. After passing this\, the path will go downhill and you will see a path to the top of the Rock. [It is possible to walk to this entrance from the Orange Line (Oak Grove Station)\, although it is a bit of a hike].

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\, hawks\, and other Fall migrants (warblers!). Whether 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!\n\nDress for the weather conditions; bring water! Expect to walk approximately 3 miles on mostly paved/level paths. We will start in the parking lot and make our way counterclockwise 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.\n\nThis trip is specifically dedicated to those aged 20-39 years. Please do not bring children.\n\nPlan 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.\n \nParking Directions:\nFree public parking is available at the meeting area (preferred) and at the boat house next to Blessing of the Bay Park along Shore Dr on the other side of the river (approximate 1 mile walk north to the meeting area).\n\n \nTransit Directions:\nIf 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\, the Fellsway\, and then 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 to the meeting location. Otherwise the Orange Line from Malden Center (numerous transit connections) to the Wellington stop is your best bet.\nIf you have any questions\, reach out to a trip leader!
