Starting on Saturday, December 30, and continuing on (most) Saturdays through March 2024, Ben Nickley of Berkshire Bird Observatory will lead a walk along the River Front Trail in Great Barrington. Meet at Berkshire Co-op Market at 10 AM. Registration is suggested but not required. Click here to register.

Ben says, “It’s a social thing as much as a birding thing and it was great talking with fellow community members. No experience is required to participate but binoculars help. Our first birding session was great–9 people showed up and we saw 20 species of birds. Some highlights were Brown Creeper, Pileated Woodpecker and Sharp-shinned Hawk. The Sharpie was the first bird we saw when we turned onto the GB River Walk. We also found an owl pellet!”
