Meetings are usually held in the Community Room of the Fox Library in Arlington. Someone from the Steering Committee tries to be there by 7:00, to allow for a half-hour of socializing, but if the door is locked, please do wait.

Birding in the East Quabbin Area
Mark Lynch and Sheila Carroll
7:30 Fox Library Community Room
East Quabbin is a vast area of  mixed forest managed by DCR: Stretching from the town of Ware (to the south) to New Salem (to the north), a large green and blue island of wild habitat nestled among the growing onslaught of sprawl.  For the past 5 years, Sheila Carroll and Mark Lynch have worked long and hard putting in hundreds of hours atlasing this productive area of Central Massachusetts for the Massachusetts Breeding Bird Atlas, an unprecedented effort that produced a very detailed understanding of the many species that breed here and interesting glimpses of migration at Quabbin, particularly in fall when large flocks of warblers, tanagers and thrushes stage for migration. Join us for a celebration of East Quabbin featuring the photography of Sheila Carroll, and the narration of both Mark Lynch and Sheila Carroll.
