SUMMARY:Weston Station Pond and nearby Mass Central Rail Trail (Rescheduled from Saturday 5/31)
DESCRIPTION:Important: if the rain is still steady on Sunday morning\, the trip is canceled. Contact the leader if uncertain. Expect wet conditions – bring waterproof footwear. To reach the bike path\, we will bypass a huge puddle that blocks the way by a side path (up a short moderately steep hill and then passing near a Weston water treatment facility). \nA good variety of birds\, Great Blue Heron colony\, chance of Indigo Bunting\, and other choice bird species (no guarantees). We’ll walk along Weston Station Pond and then on the bike trail westward as far as the old station\, then return by the same route. Expect to walk about 3 miles in total on easy wide trails and paved bike path (more than half on the bike path). Could be muddy on trails. There are no restrooms available at this location. Cosponsored with Menotomy Bird club
