SUMMARY:Lexington Living Landscapes’ Open Gardens Day
DESCRIPTION:Come\, Meet\, and Learn from Other Lexington Gardeners. \n  \nMore and more homeowners are embracing landscaping that emphasizes native plants and organic methods to create more wildlife- and people-friendly yards. Are you curious to see what other gardeners have done? Stop by any of multiple locations to see the many forms a pollinator garden can take or learn what alternatives to the traditional lawn fellow residents have tried. \nThe homeowners involved are generously opening their yards to visitors in the hopes that you’ll see something that will help or inspire you in your own landscaping\, and to learn from you as well. Many are works in progress. The gardens vary in how long they’ve been established\, how much time the homeowner has invested in them\, what the homeowner is trying to accomplish\, and whether the garden has been professionally designed and installed or is a do-it-yourself project. \nEach of the participating gardens will be open to visitors during one of two time windows during the day. Visit as many or as few as you wish. No ticket or pre-registration is needed. \nA detailed schedule and map of participating properties will be available by Labor Day at www.lexingtonlivinglandscapes.org.

SUMMARY:Spring Birding at Lower Vine Brook
DESCRIPTION:Lower Vine Brook can be a fantastic area to see a nice selection of warblers\, beautiful small tropical birds that migrate north at this time of year. They will eventually reach the forests of northern New England and Canada to breed\, but if weather and foliage are right\, you may see a dozen species here in a single morning. Dress for the weather (boots if it’s wet) and bring binoculars and a bird ID book\, or app. Children with adults are welcome. No dogs please. Rain or lightning will cancel the event; if conditions are uncertain\, please call the walk leader. Meet at the entrance to Lower Vine Brook conservation area opposite 93 Vine St. \nLeader: Harry West – 617-461-9500\, hwest2020@gmail.com  \n

SUMMARY:Woodcock Walk at Dunback Meadow
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a search for the elusive American woodcock\, whose unusual mating behavior provides a rare opportunity to observe this species. In early spring\, woodcocks can be found in wet meadows performing their courtship ritual. We will listen for the male’s distinctive “peent” call while on the ground and then his “wing twitter” as he spirals upward. He will then zigzag back down toward the ground while giving his flight song. This display is repeated\, so if we are lucky we will see quite a show. Meet at the Allen St. entrance to Dunback meadow. Be sure to dress in layers and bring binoculars. REGISTRATION REQUIRED (See below). \nRain Date March 24\, 6:30-8 pm; If conditions are uncertain\, please check the CLC website at clclex.org. \nLeader: Dianna Queheillalt\, clclexington8@gmail.com \n  \nFill out my online form.
