Spring is prime time bird watching for the experienced, beginners and all levels in between! Join Miley Bull, senior director of science and conservation, on these guided walks through the diverse habitats of Deer Pond Farm to look, listen and learn about our warmer weather visiting birds. He’ll explain migration basics, including the how and why tanagers, warblers, orioles, flycatchers, vireos and other birds pass through our area or stay awhile to nest as they head north along the Atlantic Flyway.
Allow for an average of two hours and 1.5 -2 miles. Dress for the weather. Think head, hands and feet! Wool hats, gloves and socks are really good choices. Bring water bottle, walking stick, binoculars, camera, sunscreen, bug spray and a sense of adventure. Inclement weather cancels.

Explore the Cape, Chatham to Provincetown, in Springtime when the Cape is quiet and the bustle of summer tourism has yet to begin.

Travelers will stop to visit Massachusetts Audubon's facility in Wellfleet, the Cape Cod National Seashore, and spend time enjoying the birds, gardens, and beaches in Provincetown, Falmouth, Chatham, and Eastham. Participants will be magically absorbed into the early spring wildness of the outer Cape: its grass topped dunes, sprawling beaches, and ceaseless crashing waves. Leader: Rami Haxhi
