Quabbin Reservoir - Bird Watching & Hiking

Join the Allen Bird Club of Springfield and Sierra Club Massachusetts on a bird watching field trip in the Quabbin Reservoir Park. The bird club will guide the group during the trip and share their birding expertise. Participants will have the opportunity to do bird identification, listen to bird songs and calls, and observe behavior for resident and migratory birds in the Quabbin watershed. This is open for novices as well as experienced birders.

Afterwards, the chapter will lead a 4 mile spring hike in the watershed hardwood forest where we will view flora and fauna and catch some exceptional overlooks of the Quabbin Reservoir. Prior to the hike, we will be briefly discussing the Quabbin Reservoir, its history, the watershed public lands, their benefits, climate action, and the chapters watershed forest campaign. Please note the bird watching will be from 7:30a - 9:30a and the hike from 10a - 2p.
