SUMMARY:Urban Birding\, Lowell
DESCRIPTION:You don’t always need to be in the woods\, mountains\, or at the shore to find birds. Many of these adaptable creatures find urban settings quite hospitable.

This two-hour walk is suitable for beginners and will be over mainly flat and paved surfaces but may cover two miles or more on foot. Co-sponsored by the Lowell Parks and Conservation Trust and limited to 20 participants. Register at:  https://lowelllandtrust.org/urban-birding-2/
