Hi everyone,

I want to invite you to a Brookline Bird Club-sponsored bird walk at Millenium Park, 300 Gardner Street, West Roxbury, MA this upcoming Sun., Aug. 3, 2025 at 8 am.

I'll be co-leading a walk Michael McCarthy where we will observe resident birds and summer & fall migrants in a unique urban environment with a multitude of habitats that is a favorite for many bird species, including uncommon and rare birds. Birders from beginners to experts will enjoy this walk.

Target species: bluebirds, bobolinks, egrets, falcons, flycatchers & kingbirds, grosbeaks, hawks, herons, kingfishers, orioles, owls, rails, ravens & crows, sandpipers, swallows & swifts, vultures, warblers, and woodpeckers.

We may do an optional 30-minute trip extension to an adjacent location such as West Roxbury High School or Brook Farm.

What to Bring: 

• Hat 

• Waterproof footwear 

• Water

• Binoculars 

• Sunblock (recommended)

• Insect repellent (recommended).

Trail Conditions: combination of paved, boardwalk, grass, and dirt (typical of wooded areas) and generally flat with occasional gentle inclines.

Registration: The walk is free but preregistration is required. Please preregister by emailing neil.c...@mac.com.

Directions: Go past the ball fields and bear left. Once you arrive at the park, turn left and then you’ll see a small sign at the first left turn labelled Canoe Launch. Follow that road to the end of the parking lot. We meet at the end of the parking lot nearest the Canoe Launch and a small rotary.

Hope to see you there!

Neil
