Fellow MBC members,
While there are no trips currently planned this weekend – it is usually
Mass Audubon’s Bird-a-thon weekend thus our leaders are usually out all day
– it is still peak migration period so we encourage you to keep exploring
your local patches, *report what you’re seeing* and enjoy all that our area
has to offer.
To help you plan ahead; our next (and no longer final meeting of the season
as we added a June meeting) will be on Tuesday, May 20th @ 6:45 PM at the
Jenks Center, 109 Skillings Road in Winchester as we will have our highly
anticipated Members Photo Night! This event is sure to be a favorite,
showcasing breathtaking photography and captivating stories from our
talented members.
Please note the earlier start time!!!
Do however continue to look at the weekly e-mails as we continually add
trips based upon what is being seen, weather and availability of our
leaders. We recently added a walk to Horn Pond in Woburn for Saturday, May
24 and are looking at some early June trips to enjoy our local breeding
birds.

*Paul Ippolito 7:00 AM – 9:30 AM*
Join us as we explore the varied habitat of the Horn Pond Conservation
area. As we are nearing the end of the migration period, we will searching
for lingering migrants – IF there is a Mourning Warbler this is the time to
find one - and resident birds such as Orchard Orioles, Swallows, Eastern
Phoebes, Warbling Vireos, Yellow Warblers and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. On
this unique walk, we will be searching some of the back trails and moving
at a faster pace than normal and traveling up some steeper, rockier paths.
Thus please plan accordingly as the walk will have uneven terrain; muddy
areas are expected due to the ongoing rains. Meet at the Sturgis Street
entrance 7:00 AM - 9:30 AM Paul Ippolito <paulippolito295...>
If you are interested in leading a trip, please reach out to Alan Ankers,
Renee LaFontaine or myself, the club would be so lucky to have you lead.
Please continue to post your observations.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
