It’s finally May, the busiest and most exciting month for birding in Massachusetts! And that means a very busy schedule coming up. Saturday May 5, the 4th annual Family Bird Festival will take place at Arcadia; the 34th annual Mass Audubon Birdathon is coming up May 11-12; our club’s general membership meeting is slated for May 14, featuring a talk by Sam Fried about birding in Cuba as well as the official vote on the proposed changes to the club by-laws; plus a full SIXTEEN birding trips including outings to Monhegan and Mount Auburn as well as local favorites like Mount Holyoke, the Quabbin, the Fort River Trail, Lake Wallace, the Norwottuck Rail Trail, Knightsville Dam, Mineral Hills, the Montague Sandplains, and more!
