Monthly Bird Walks Through the Winter

Date: 

Saturday, February 23, 2019, 9:00am to 10:30am

Location: 

Arnold Arboretum - 125 Arborway, Boston, MA
Join Arnold Arboretum's Brendan Keegan for an easy walk looking for winter birds. In January, Brendan will discuss how species alter their behaviors, diets, and/or bodies to survive the colder temperatures. For his February walk, that meets at the Bussey Street Gate, you will listen for, and discuss bird calls, and talk about owl mating season. The March walk on St. Patrick's Day will be a talk about how birds migrate and the impressive migrations of common Arboretum species, with a look for early migrants around the grounds.

All skill levels, especially beginners, are encouraged to join. Bring binoculars, and a few binoculars will be available to share.

See our website for directions and a checklist of birds. Parking is along the Arborway for Arborway Gate walk meet up, and along Bussey Street for the February Walk, or take the T to Forest Hills and walk. Meet inside the Gates.

In case of inclement weather, contact 617.384.5209.
