SUMMARY: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

SUMMARY:Woodcock Walk at Dunback Meadow
DESCRIPTION:DATE: March 18\, 2023\n\n\nTIME: 6-8pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin 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 if you have them. **Please bring a headlamp or flashlight if you have one.** \nRain date: March 19 6-8pm.  If conditions are uncertain\, please check the CLC website. \nLeader: Dianna Queheillalt ~ clclexington8@gmail.com
