Summer is a wonderful time to identify and learn more about local birds. Please join us on July 7th, 2024 for a birding event on the grounds of the Ralph Waldo Emerson House in Concord, where we will walk around Emerson’s property to identify native birds and their habitat. Visitors will walk the grounds that Emerson, Thoreau and many others strolled, led by experienced birdwatchers Pat and Tony Nastase. Pat is the former Vice President of Valley Forge Audubon Society and is currently Chairperson of the Publications and Communications Committee. Tony is an award-winning bird photographer. They have been birding for over 20 years and lead bird walks throughout their local area.

This free event begins at 8 a.m. and is open to all; children are welcome if accompanied by an adult. Please bring binoculars and water, and we recommend that you wear comfortable, waterproof shoes. Be prepared to see nesting birds as well as fledglings who recently left the nest.

If you are new to birding, the Nastases will help you use your binoculars, provide fun facts about the birds we see, and share tips for identifying them.
