Urban Birding for Beginners in West Cemetery

Join Assistant Town Manager Dave Ziomek and Kestrel Conservation Manager Lee Halasz for a beginner bird walk on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM at West Cemetery. Participants may spot migrant warblers, fish crows, and a local nesting pair of Red-tailed hawks. The event covers how to spot birds, use binoculars, and identify common birds by song, including discussion of how chimney swifts and nighthawks use urban spaces. The event is appropriate for all abilities.

Registration is required. A sliding scale donation to Kestrel Land Trust is welcome.
