Hi everyone,
I am excited to share the schedule of upcoming free joint fall/early winter bird walks between Boston Nature Center & Brookline Bird Club.
While there is no fee for the walks, we are now asking that participants RSVP to cgeorge [AT] massaudubon.org and copy me at neil.calabro1 [AT] icloud.com. We are now limiting walks to 30 people. Walks are held on Saturdays, meet @ 7:30 am, and typically run about two hours, though there are sometimes optional extensions.
Detailed descriptions for the walks follow.
See you there!
