This outing will be led by local birder and NH Audubon volunteer, Joe Mahoney, and will focus on our wildlife refuge’s summer residents. This walk will cross through mostly field and forest habitats and we can expect to see birds such as Tree Swallows, Eastern Bluebirds, and Red Shouldered-Hawks. We will meet at the front doors of the Massabesic Center, across the road from the parking lot.

All ages and skill levels of birders are welcome. If you are new to birding, come and learn the basics! If you are an avid birder, come to learn new techniques, network with other birders, or share your expertise with the group.

This is a free event. Binocular rental is provided. Please dress for the weather, with sturdy shoes. Expect to walk between 1-2 miles over varied trails with some elevation change through grassy and wooded terrain. Trails may be soggy or muddy in the rainy season. Also, as a reminder, prepare for the sun and any insects we might encounter. Dogs are not allowed on this walk.
