Birding by Canoe

Enjoy canoeing and birding? Why not blend the two?! Naturalist and Ecological Manager David McLain will lead this evening canoe/birding adventure into the Arcadia marsh. By this time great blue herons will have nested nearby so we will keep an eye out for these large wading birds. Kingfishers, yellow warblers, cedar waxwings, and eastern phoebes, along with several species of woodpeckers, are often seen flying or perched by the river. Of course we'll look at a few vernal wildflowers along the way, and keep our eyes peeled for muskrats, beavers, and otters. This will be an easy paddle; however, prior canoe experience is required. Registration is required. Call (413) 584-3009 for details. See http://www.massaudubon.org/catalog/listing.php?program_code=460-AR12SP1 for more information.
