SUMMARY:Fenway Area Bird Walk with Boston Birding Festival and Walking City Trail
DESCRIPTION:We’ll explore and look for birds in the northern part of the Fenway area around the gardens and recently restored Muddy River\, in collaboration with Boston Birding Festival and Walking City Trail. Expect up to 2 miles of walking on easy flat trails (paved and unpaved). \nThis beautiful and historical patch of green often attracts migrating songbirds and ducks. Established in 1942\, the Fenway Victory Garden is the oldest surviving victory garden in the United States. \nThis is an opportunity to learn a bit more about the Boston Birding Festival and the Walking City Trail. (This bird walk will walk on a section of the WCT.) \nNew birders are welcome\, and we will have some binoculars to lend. \nRegistration with Boston Birding Festival is required at this link (https://www.bostonbirdingfestival.org/posts/fenway-area-bird-walk/). In addition BBF requires a waiver (made available during the registration process) which you should print and sign and bring with you. They will have waiver forms available if you forget.

SUMMARY:King's Beach - Swampscott/Lynn
DESCRIPTION:Let’s take a look at gulls! Gulls take 3 to 4 years to reach adult plumage. And in each year\, there’s a winter and a summer plumage. Which means\, we get to see six to eight different versions of each species. And THAT is what makes gulls so much fun to identify! Free on-street parking. One mile walk on sidewalk and sand. All skill levels welcome. Binoculars available. Smiles required.

SUMMARY:Stony Brook Reservation Bird Walk with Boston Birding Festival and Walking City Trail
DESCRIPTION:We’ll explore and look for birds in the  along the Walking City Trail in the Stony Brook Reservation in the heart of Boston\, in collaboration with Boston Birding Festival and Walking City Trail. Expect about 2 miles miles on trails that will be difficult in places. The trails can be rocky\, have exposed roots\, and somewhat steep. They can also be muddy if it has rained recently. \nEstablished in 1894 as a city greenspace\, Boston’s Stony Brook Reservation is managed by the Metropolitan Park System of Greater Boston and the DCR. This urban gem deserves and has special value to people who live nearby. The wilder sections of this property are known for their dramatic rocky cliffs and outcroppings and include woodlands\, brooks\, a beautiful pond\, floodplain and marshes\, shallow wetlands\, and certified vernal pools. At the north\, Bellevue Hill\, at 338 feet\, is the highest point in the city of Boston and can be good for hawk-watching. \nFor this walk\, we’ll explore the eastern side of Stony Brook Reservation and see what late migrants and resident birds we can find. \nThis is an opportunity to learn a bit more about the Boston Birding Festival and the Walking City Trail. (This bird walk will walk on a section of the WCT.) \nNew birders are welcome\, and we will have some binoculars to lend. \nRegistration with Boston Birding Festival is required at this link (https://www.bostonbirdingfestival.org/posts/stony-brook-reservation-walk/). In addition BBF requires a waiver (made available through the registration process) which you should print and sign and bring with you. They will have waiver forms available if you forget.

SUMMARY:Hybrid BBC Fall Meeting: The Resplendent Quetzal
DESCRIPTION:The Brookline Bird Club invites you to our Hybrid (Live+Zoom) Fall Meeting on Friday October 25\, 2024 from 7pm-9pm\, with a social hour beginning at 6:30pm. \nThis hybrid meeting will be hosted at the Harvard University Geologic Hall (24 Oxford Street\, Cambridge) as well as via Zoom for those unable to attend live. Note that there is free parking at the 52 Oxford Street Parking garage. The event is open to BBC members and non-members. \n*** \nA dazzling and legendary bird of the highland forests of Mexico and Central America\, Aztec and Mayan cultures revered the Resplendent Quetzal. How have conservation efforts failed it in many regions\, but given it a boost in others? What else do we know? We will focus on the RQ’s nesting and feeding ecology\, on its central role in Mayan and Aztec religions\, on how it fits into the increasingly threatened rainforests that sustain it\, and on what lies ahead for this bird. Dr. Alan Poole will share the latest research on this spectacular bird. \nPresenter Bio: \nAn ornithologist with training at Princeton\, Yale\, and Woods Hole\, Alan Poole has had a long career in the worlds of research and publishing. He is an Associate of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, a Fellow of the American Ornithological Society\, and the recently retired editor of the Birds of North America (BNA) – an 18 volume\, 18\,000 page life history series now online at Cornell. In addition to editing\, Alan has spent over 40 years in studies of coastal birds\, particularly Ospreys\, and completed his 2 nd book on that species (Ospreys: the revival of a global raptor; Johns Hopkins University Press) in 2019. His new book about the Resplendent Quetzal\, a Neotropical cloud forest beauty\, was published by Cornell/Zona Tropical in October 2023. \nRegister here if you plan to join the presentation virtually.
