Spring Bird Walk in Groton

Saturday, May 2, 2015, from 7:00- 10:30 a.m.
Meet at the NRWA's River Resource Center parking lot, 592 Main Street (Rt. 119) in Groton at 7:00 a.m

Early May heralds the beginning of the 'high season' of spring migration, when many species of neo-tropical migrant species including warblers, vireos, orioles, flycatchers, swallows and others start to arrive in Massachusetts. The public is invited to join Mark Archambault of the NRWA on a free guided Spring Bird Walk beginning at 7:00 a.m. and running to approximately 10:30 a.m. Whether you're interest in birding is newly found, or you are an experienced birder, Mark's walk will be of interest as we look for a wide variety of species, discuss their habitat needs, and what makes our watershed so valuable to these migrating bird populations. This walk will be on easy, relatively level terrain, at a slow to moderate pace.

Participants will meet up at the NRWA's River Resource Center parking lot at 7:00 a.m., then we'll travel to a nearby birding location in Groton. Please bring binoculars and a field guide, if possible. Also be sure to dress
appropriately for the weather and field conditions, including tick protection; bring drinks and snacks for a few hours. Children over 10 are welcome accompanied by an adult. For the comfort of all, no dogs are allowed. In the event of heavy storms, this walk will be postponed to Sunday, May 3rd, same time and meeting location. This program is free and open to the public; pre-registration is appreciated for planning purposes, but is not required.
