LINKS
The start of spring is always full of anticipation. Like birders, some birds just can’t wait for spring’s delights. They arrive from South and Central America early and when they show up in our neighborhood, we start getting excited.
On this trip, we’ll explore Horn Pond’s trails and see what we can find. We’re excited to be partnering with the young birders from Winchester High School Ornithological Club to offer this walk! So let’s bird with the next generation of conservation and environmental leaders.
New birders—and young birders—are welcome on this walk. We will have binoculars to lend—email your request in advance,

TRAILS
This trip focuses on the north wetlands and woodlands and some of the woodlands in the east where birds are usually more abundant. Please note: these trails, unlike the trails around the pond, are not paved. The area is hilly and the ground is uneven or muddy in some places. We will be covering about 2.5 miles.
CHALLENGES
Horn Pond is a popular recreation area, and we may encounter the occasional mountain bike or leashed dog.
The Massachusetts Young Birders Club was originally founded in 2014. The Club was created for young birders to connect, and for young people of all backgrounds who haven’t birded before to discover a new passion alongside a community of their peers.
This Club is run by its members with the support of near-peer mentors. All Club Members have a say in how the club is run, and have chances to take on leadership roles and give back to their communities. The Club provides inclusive opportunities to build knowledge about birds and nature and to form connections and a sense of stewardship to the land around us.
Our primary tenet is simple: birding is for everyone! Membership and club activities are free!
