Bird Walk at the Beautiful Middlesex Fells

Put your new birding knowledge and skills with this low-key walk in the beautiful Middlesex Fells. We'll look for migrating raptors, straggling songbirds, and newly arrived ducks! In birding, one day the birds are in, and the next day they're out and on their way somewhere else.

This walk can be challenging if the leaves are wet. Expect some elevation. Sturdy footwear is recommended. All ages welcome.

Directions: Meet at DCR Gate 55, which is clearly marked. This gate is near the intersection of Fellsway East and East Border Road.

Presented by birders from the Boston Birding Festival and Great Malden Outdoors.

New birders and the merely bird curious are always welcome. We have some binoculars to loan as well. Request in advance! See you out there!
