Date: 5/22/25 4:52 am From: Paul Ippolito <paulippolito295...> Subject: [Arlington Birds] MBC trips this weekend
Fellow MBC members,
We have trips this weekend on Saturday at Horn Pond in Woburn and Dunback
Meadow in Lexington. With heavy rains forecasted over the next 12 hours
please plan on some muddy trails so choose your footwear wisely.
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 and are looking at some early June trips to enjoy our resident
birds.
It is still 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.
*Saturday, May 24*
*Dunback Meadow, Lexington *
*Cliff Cook 6:00 AM – 10:00 AM*
Join us as we explore Dunback Meadows in Lexington as our target birds will
be late migrants including Mourning Warbler and flycatchers. Muddy areas
are expected due to the ongoing rains. Meet at the parking lot of the Clark
Middle School on Stedman Road in Lexington. 6:00 AM - 10:00 AM

*Saturday, May 24*
*Horn Pond, Woburn *
*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.
