SUMMARY:Mount Auburn in Summer
DESCRIPTION:Mt. Auburn Cemetery is most heavily visited during migration season\, but birding there in the summer allows you to see the large number of vibrant breeding birds without the crowds. Expect to see herons\, vireos\, flycatchers\, and raptors\, which may include some Great Horned Owls if we are lucky. Birders and nature-lovers of all skill levels are welcome. The walk will be about a mile in the summer heat with some elevation\, so bring sun protection\, water\, appropriate footwear\, and binoculars. \nMeet: Outside Story Chapel (580 Mt. Auburn St)\, which is the red sandstone building that looks like a chapel near the cemetery entrance (inside the cemetery). \nThe Cemetery gates open fairly promptly at 8am and you can usually park on Lawn Ave. where it circles the Asa Gray Garden. That is very near the meeting spot. Parking is allowed on any road that doesn’t have a green center line. Park completely on asphalt\, not touching the grass. \nPublic transportation and bicycling are fine ways to reach the cemetery. There are racks for your bikes inside the gates. https://www.mbta.com/trip-planner is an easy way to find a route on the T and the trip planner can give you a route that takes into account weekend schedules and temporarily closed train lines.

SUMMARY:Charles River Esplanade (Early Birders Series)
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow birders in their 20s-30s as we visit the Charles River Esplanade for an evening bird walk! Located in the heart of Boston\, the Esplanade is a 64-acre park along the south side of the Charles River. While serving as one of Boston’s staple common areas\, it is also a good spot to observe resident bird species of Massachusetts in an urban and welcoming environment.\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 us for a casual evening of birdwatching!\nDress for the weather conditions; bring water! While the trip will start around 6:30pm\, it may still be hot out! Expect to walk approximately 3 miles on mostly paved/level paths until sundown. 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 aged 20-39 years. Please do not bring children. \nPlan to meet at the Edwin Upton Curtis Memorial next to the Hatch Memorial Shell. Parking is difficult around here and it is strongly recommended that you arrive via public transportation. Meeting location coordinates: 42.35726\, -71.07426 \nTake the T to Charles/MGH red line stop and take the Frances Appleton Bridge to the Esplanade. Walk down the esplanade path to the entrance of the lagoon next to the theater. \nIf you have any questions\, reach out to the trip leader!
