Northfield Mountain, Birding

Birds of Spring with David Brown

Every spring, a massive seasonal movement of birds occurs as winter flocks of seed-eating birds depart for the northern nesting ranges and are replaced by millions of other birds arriving from their winter ranges in Central and South America. This movement peaks during May, providing us with a chance to observe them in their often colorful plumage.

Meet at the Northfield Recreation and Environmental Center, from where we will travel to the First Light picnic area at the end of the road directly across from the entrance road to the center. Bring binoculars and dress for the weather.

The trip is co-sponsored by Northfield Mountain Recreation and Environmental Center and the Northfield Bird Club. It is free and open to the public, and will be led by naturalist David Brown, a lifelong birder. No reservation is required.
