An easy 2-mile walk through pondside meadows and forest paths at Fresh Pond. The over-wintering waterbirds have started to arrive, and we may see Ring-necked Ducks, Ruddy Ducks and both Hooded and Common Mergansers. Meadow and forest species may include year-round residents as well as seasonal visitors from the north (e.g. White-throated Sparrows, Juncos).
Note on Parking:
We will meet in the parking lot of the TD Bank at Fresh Pond Circle, located at the intersection of Concord Avenue with Fresh Pond Parkway in Cambridge. If you are driving, please see the walk leader (Thomas Michel) when you arrive to get a parking permit to place on the dashboard of your car, and then park in the Trader Joe’s lot. If you don’t have a permit, your car may be towed.
