MBC trips this weekend and beyond

[Paul Ippolito]

Fellow MBC members,

This week we have walks on Saturday at Dunback Meadow in Lexington (do however watch the weather) and Tuesday at Horn Pond in Woburn.

 

Do, however, continue to look at the weekly e-mails as we will be continually adding trips based upon what is being seen, weather and availability of our leaders.

 

Spring migration is winding down but some interesting observations are being posted throughout Massachusetts so keep exploring your local patches, report what you are seeing and enjoy all that our area has to offer.
