August 14, 9:00-10:30 am, Atherton Field, West Newbury, MA Bring your own binoculars or borrow a pair on this easy beginner birdwatching walk. The trails here pass through field and forest, and skirt a beaver pond, where we'll hopefully observe a variety of species. The leader will give tips for identifying birds and we'll suggest and pass around several books and apps that can help a beginner get started! We suggest you bring your phone, fully charged, a small notebook and pencil, some water to drink, and wear sneakers or hiking boots, and long pants. If you have a pair of binoculars, feel free to bring them. If not, we will have a few pairs to share! The trail here is not very long and is mostly flat and wide. We will park at the Indian Hill Conservation Area parking lot and cross the street to the Atherton Field property. Please arrive a little early to find parking and check in. Photo: Deborah Monte
