SUMMARY:Early Birders @ Belle Isle Marsh & Winthrop Area
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow birders in their 20s-30s for a special entry into the Early Birder series as we visit Belle Isle Marsh & the nearby Winthrop/Revere area! Nestled between Orient Heights\, Beachmont\, and Winthrop\, the salt marsh of Belle Isle is host to a wide variety of unique bird species. As we navigate the northern portion of the park\, expect to see your typical songbirds & coastal birds\, but also shorebirds and other migrants. There’s no other place like it! Following our time at Belle Isle\, we plan to carpool to the nearby beaches at Winthrop and/or Revere for more shorebirding action! If we’re lucky\, we will get to observe Piping Plovers nesting on the beaches! \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! \nMake sure to dress in clothes that cover your skin to avoid mosquito bites; bring water & bug spray! The mosquitos at Belle Isle can be nasty! Expect to walk approximately 3 miles on mostly level paths & beaches. Binoculars are highly recommended. If you need loaner binoculars\, they are available upon request (please email the trip leader ahead of time). Port-a-potties are available at the meeting location. \nThis trip is specifically dedicated to those aged 20-39 years. Please do not bring children. \nMeet in the parking lot of Belle Isle Marsh off of Bennington St at 9 AM (1399 Bennington St\, Boston\, MA 02128). Meeting location coordinates: 42.39166\, -70.99370. Google maps pin for easy navigation is below on this page. Parking is free at this section of the park. In the event the parking lot is full\, the Suffolk Downs T station down the street has parking. \nAs we navigate Winthrop/Revere after Belle Isle\, there is available parking on most streets (but pay attention to signage). We encourage carpooling and will be carpooling those who are interested. \nTransit access to the park is available via the Blue Line Suffolk Downs T stop (10 minute walk away). Please notify one of the trip leaders if you expect to carpool (so we can plan ahead).
