• Birding for Everyone: Apps, Field Guides, and eBird

  • When
    Thu, July 17, 2025
  •  
    7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
  • Location
    Online

  
  

  We talk a lot about identifying different types of birds over the course of the year, but less time on the actual tools used to do so. This month we will rectify this! We'll talk about popular field guides, apps, and the increasingly ubiquitous eBird during our monthly discussion. If you've wondered about what you should be using, this is the talk for you!

• Birding for Everyone: Pulaski Park, Holyoke

  • When
    Sat, July 19, 2025
  •  
    8:45 AM - 11:00 AM
  • Location
    Pulaski Park, Holyoke, MA

  
  

  Even though Pulaski Park is right in downtown Holyoke, it can hold some interesting birds. Last year on this trip we saw Bald Eagles, Yellow Warblers, Great Blue Herons, and even Osprey! This trip has minimal walking (the park itself is small) and we will keep an eye on the Connecticut River as well as birds within the park proper.  We will have binoculars and at least one scope available so we all get good looks. Meet at the Mater Dolorosa School parking lot.

• Birding for Everyone: Sparrows

  • When
    Thu, August 14, 2025
  •  
    7:00 PM - 8:00 PM
  • Location
    Online

  

  Sparrows are ubiquitous birds in our area, ranging from the extremely easy to find to those that are reclusive. In advance of fall migration, where different sparrows will migrate through our area, we will review this family of birds to help you with identification and appreciation of this often taken for granted family of birds. The presentation will be brief (30 minutes or less) and will allow for plenty of time for your questions on any birding related topic.
