Date: 7/27/26 5:20 am From: Paul Ippolito <paulippolito295...> Subject: [Arlington Birds] MBC meeting Wednesday, Jul 29
Fellow MBC members,
As a reminder, we have a scheduled MBC Meeting on Wednesday this week.
*Wednesday, July 29*
*6:30 PM Social Time, 7:00 Meeting Start *
*New England Shorebird Guide*
*Soheil Zendeh – Woburn Public Library - 45 Pleasant Street*
Please join the Menotomy Bird Club on Wednesday, July 29th @ 7:00 PM at the
Woburn Public Library in the Program Room, as we will have Soheil talk us
through how to use this guide for all of your birding adventures.
Shorebirds are a group of sandpipers, plovers and other associated species
with rapidly declining populations. This is particularly true of shorebirds
that nest in Arctic or far northern areas and migrate through our region to
Central or South America. These long-distance migratory birds are among the
least known of our wildlife.
To familiarize folks with these birds and encourage conservation efforts,
the New England Shorebird Guide has been created, a digital-only field
guide accessible freely on the Bird Observer site. This web app can be
downloaded to your smart phone, tablet or computer.
In the talk, Soheil will explain to you some of the challenges faced by
shorebirds in their epic migrations and also explain the workings of the
shorebird app.
