Description
Explore open fields at the height of breeding season for birds. We'll take a leisurely walk through the meadows and along the lake shore environment in search of singing and nesting birds including Bobolinks: a unique species of blackbird that migrates an incredibly long distance. We'll also share ways to support birds at home and in your community.
This program is now offered at both Edith Wharton Park in Lenox and Canoe Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary in Pittsfield; see below for more information about your program location. At either location, this program covers up to 1 mile on a mowed grass path that is level or gradually sloping but could have uneven ground.
