Join Greg Power, library volunteer and birding enthusiast, to get to know Beverly's open spaces through birding! This month we will be at David S. Lynch Memorial Park, 55 Ober St in Beverly, and will meet at the parking lot near the entrance. Late fall, early winter is when the sea ducks and other birds that breed in the north come south for the winter. Salem Sound tends to capture many of these species for the duration of the winter as they feed. The bird walk begins at 8:05 AM sharp and over the course of this walk:

• We will start by looking for winter song birds along the parking lot,
• Then we will walk around the edge of the park along the water as we watch for the winter ducks and gulls, and
• The Rose Garden will be our final destination to see what might be hiding there for the season.

Registration is required. These are excellent events for new and seasoned birders alike. Open to all abilities, binoculars not required! This walk will be along paved and grassy paths. There will be a full moon high tide so we will not venture out onto the beach. Questions? Contact Kerri MacLaury at kmaclaury@noblenet.org or 978-921-6062, ext. 2120. This program is rain or shine, though heavy rain, or hazardous ice or snow fall may result in cancellation. Be sure to check the our Event Calendar for cancellation prior to attending.

Greg Power started birding over 40 years ago. He started with the hobby while regularly going to sea for his work and casually maintained his interest over the years as he was able. In 2021, he enrolled in Massachusetts Audubon’s Birders Certificate Program (BCP). Since retiring in 2022, he has been able to dedicate significantly more time to birding. As a part of BCP, Greg identified a number of worthwhile birding spots in and around Beverly. Drawing on his experiences with other Beverly birders, he worked with Cornell University’s Laboratory of Ornithology eBird staff and others to create new birding hotspots in the city. Greg continues to seek out additional birding hotspots in Beverly by frequently visiting parks, playgrounds, and other open spaces. When he’s not birding, Greg can be found volunteering with Massachusetts Audubon, The Trustees of Reservations and other local environmentally focused organizations.
