SUMMARY:Millis and Medfield Breeding Birds
DESCRIPTION:Trying for 50 species again this year\, we’ll be walking about a mile and a half\, mostly staying on pavement. Boots are not required. Ticks should not be a problem. We’ll be looking and listening for swamp breeders\, including Green Heron\, Brown Creeper\, Northern Waterthrush\, and Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. We may then stop at the Medfield State Hospital fields for grassland and successional breeding birds. We could also make additional stops in Medfield as time allows.

SUMMARY:Belle Isle Marsh & Winthrop Beach (Early Birders Series)
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow birders in their 20s-30s as we visit Belle Isle Marsh & the nearby Winthrop/Revere area! Nestled between Orient Heights\, Beachmont\, and Winthrop\, the salt marsh of Belle Isle is host to a wide variety of unique bird species. As we navigate the northern portion of the park\, expect to see your typical songbirds & coastal birds\, but also shorebirds and other migrants. There’s no other place like it! Following our time at Belle Isle\, we plan to carpool to the nearby beaches at Winthrop and/or Revere for more shorebirding action! If we’re lucky\, we will get to observe Piping Plovers nesting on the beaches! \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! Hope to see you there! \nMake sure to dress in clothes that cover your skin to avoid mosquito bites; bring water & bug spray! The mosquitos at Belle Isle can be nasty! Expect to walk approximately 3 miles on mostly level paths & beaches. Binoculars are highly recommended. If you need loaner binoculars\, they are available upon request (please email the trip leader ahead of time). Port-a-potties are available at the meeting location. \nThis trip is specifically dedicated to those aged 20-39 years. Please do not bring children. \nPlan to meet in the parking lot of Belle Isle Marsh off of Bennington St at 9 AM (1399 Bennington St\, Boston\, MA 02128). Meeting location coordinates: 42.39166\, -70.99370. \nParking is free at this section of the park. In the event the parking lot is full\, the Suffolk Downs T station down the street has parking. As we navigate Winthrop/Revere after Belle Isle\, there is available parking on most streets (but pay attention to signage). We encourage carpooling and will be carpooling those who are interested.
