SUMMARY:Annual Members Meeting & Lecture with Hyla Howe: Bobolinks on the Brink
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on April 24 for our Annual Members Meeting. The evening begins with a social hour at 6:30. The program starts at 7:30 with the BBC’s annual business meeting and the election of new officers and board members. Once we have concluded with club business and announcements we will go the evening’s speaker. \nThis meeting is open to all and held at the Harvard Geological Lecture Hall at 24 Oxford Street in Cambridge. (This is next door to the Museum of Comparative Zoology.) \nConcerned about parking? Don’t Be!! Starting at 5:30 PM there will be free parking for all at the Harvard Oxford Street Garage entered off Oxford Street across from Everett Street. Just tell the attendant that you will be going to the BBC meeting. \nWhile we hope that you will be able to join us in person there will also be a Zoom link for those who cannot make it into Cambridge. \nIntroducing the BBC’s 2026 Species of Concern – The Bobolink\nAt the meeting we will kick off a new BBC initiative\, our annual Species of Concern. Each year we will designate a bird that is facing challenges in Massachusetts. \nFor 2026 our Species of Concern will be the Bobolink\, a grassland bird that faces challenges across the state. You will learn about the Bobolink during the evening’s lecture – see more below – and you will hear about field trips and other activities to learn about and support the Bobolink. \nLecture: Bobolinks on the Brink: What do Bobolinks Tell Us about Our Relationship with the Land\, and How Can We Protect Them?\nHyla Howe\, Grassland Bird Biologist at Mass Audubon and Program Manager for the Bobolink Project will join the Brookline Bird Club to discuss our first endangered species spotlight: the Bobolink! \nMass Audubon’s Grassland Bird Biologist will join the Brookline Bird Club to discuss our first endangered species spotlight: the Bobolink! Bobolink populations are closely intertwined with shifting land use patterns and agricultural practices\, and conservation solutions to protect them are complex. Hyla will share observations from the field\, insights from conversations with farmers and landowners\, takeaways from efforts to improve and scale the Bobolink Project\, and results from a regional land use change analysis to describe where bobolink conservation stands today\, and what you can do to help. \nAbout the Speaker\nHyla Howe is Mass Audubon’s Grassland Bird Biologist and the Program Manager for the Bobolink Project. Hyla received her M.S. from the University of Vermont\, where she studied grassland birds and hayfield management in New York’s Champlain Valley. She is still based in Vermont\, where she works closely with farmers\, landowners\, and regional partners to scale bird-friendly hayfield management efforts across five states. In her free time\, she enjoys biking\, skiing\, paddling\, and making pottery. \nThe Details Including Zoom Link\nWhen: April 24\, social hour staring at 6:30 PM\, program starting at 7:30 PM \nWhere: Harvard Geological Lecture Hall\, 24 Oxford Street\, Cambridge \nParking: Harvard Oxford Street Garage entered opposite Everett Street at Oxford Street \nZoom Registration Link (advance registration strongly suggested): https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_a32jwL2NQLqc8g1dl_Z1vw

SUMMARY:Beaver Brook Farm\, Dracut
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a walk through various habitats such as mature woodland\, freshwater marsh\, and open fields as we look and listen for spring migrants and resident breeding birds at this beautiful piece of property preserved by the town of Dracut. We should be able to find a good variety of species that need these islands of native vegetation to fuel up on their way to their breeding grounds or to stay and raise the next generation. The trail is less than a mile in length but is uneven in spots and portions could be muddy so sturdy footwear is a must. Cosponsored by the Dracut Open Space Committee

SUMMARY:Weston Station Pond and nearby Mass Central Rail Trail
DESCRIPTION:Discover a quiet hotspot with miles of trails and a lot of birds! The diversity of habitats in and around Weston Station Pond make it a great spot to look for migrants in late April ranging from warblers to waterfowl to shorebirds to others. In addition\, a Great Blue Heron rookery ensures that even if it’s a quiet day for migration that there will be something awe inspiring to look at. Expect to walk about 3 miles in total on a combination of dirt and paved trails. Dirt trails could be muddy depending on conditions. There are no restrooms available at this location.
