SUMMARY:Bring Back Boblinks: Bobolinks at Ocean View Farm Reserve
DESCRIPTION:Part of our Bring Back Boblinks conservation series. \nCo-led by Linda Vanderveer\, Land Manager\, DNRT. A combined walk with Brookline Bird Club and Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust. Registration is required. Please go to https://dnrt.org/event/bobolink-walk-2/ to register. Registration opens on May 14. \nBobolinks are migratory grassland birds found across Massachusetts. The Bobolink is listed as a Species of Greatest Conservation Need in Massachusetts and faces global declines driven by habitat loss and early mowing practices that destroy nests\, making coordinated land management essential for its conservation. \nDNRT’s Ocean View Farm Reserve is a breeding habitat for Bobolinks. Join us as we observe them tending to their young in the fields at this scenic property. Trails are easy.

DESCRIPTION:With the extreme heat conditions the leader has decided to walk Gate 10 until 9:00 am and then turn back to the cars.  This section of the walk is under trees and is much more comfortable than the trip back out of the Quabbin.  Back at the cars we can decide to go to Quabbin Park and/or Lake Wallace.  The trip will end no later than noon. \nJoin Glenn on this walk through a very birdy area with species ranging from Broad-winged Hawk to Yellow-bellied Sapsucker\, Blue-headed Vireo\, Chestnut-sided Warbler\, Scarlet Tanager\, Baltimore Oriole\, and lots of stuff in between. (Maybe a moose or a bobcat!) Co-sponsored with the South Shore Bird Club.

DESCRIPTION:New addition to our Bring Back Bobolinks conservation series. \nThis gem works its way into the rotations of many birders once discovered. It is managed for dog walking (no dogs on this walk please) and bobolinks\, which in a good year can number 100 or more. We will be using dirt trails and boardwalks. Trails can be muddy depending on recent weather. Decent luck should bring 30 to 50 species depending migration and whether all routes are accessible\, including a variety of warblers\, ducks\, waders and raptors. \nPull over if you can on Pelham Island Rd on the way to view the waders and ducks and maybe raptors in or near the pond on the left.

SUMMARY:Popup for Bridled Tern at Scituate Lighthouse
DESCRIPTION:We’re offering this popup trip for the Bridled Tern. We will limit the trip because of concerns about available parking and group size being too large. Please informally register by sending email to fieldtrips@brooklinebirdclub.org. If you are carpooling\, please send one email for the whole car. We’ll count you as one person since parking is our biggest concern. We’ll send you a reply email Wednesday evening confirming that we have room for you. We will also use your email to send a cancellation if we think the bird has left the area. \nYou can go to the lighthouse pretty much anytime for a chance of seeing this bird and we encourage that too. There are likely to be other birders there to help you find it. The Bridled Tern is being seen frequently there. If you have a scope\, you may spot it further off and possibly drive to a better vantage point. This is not a hard bird to see if you are patient and it hasn’t left. We don’t know how long it will be around. \nIf you have a scope or a telephoto camera\, we encourage you to bring it. \nThe meeting spot is the Scituate lighthouse parking lot. The attached google map has a point you can use for directions. You can just enter Scituate Lighthouse in your favorite navigation app and it should be fine. \nIt is a pretty good spot for limited mobility. It depends on where the bird is. There’s a good chance it can be seen from flat paved ground reachable from the paved parking lot with a couple of handicapped spots. Sometimes it requires walking some short distance on a beach to see it though. Not perfect\, but limited mobility persons are welcome. \n
