If you have Columbus Day off, why not start early anyway and get some excercise?

Let’s take advantage of the warm weather for as long as possible! Lovely Nahanton Park has a variety of habitats that make it attractive to migrating birds. Several different kinds of sparrows along with juncos, swallows, finches, and maybe a warbler should be about. They especially love the Victory Gardens areas, where there are lots of seeds on the plants. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring binoculars if you have them. It’s not a lot of walking, but some of it is on unpaved paths.

The entrance to Nahanton Park is on Winchester St. in Newton, on the right just past the golf course as you head toward Needham. Turn left after entering and drive down to the parking area near the sign board/gate. This walk is also sponsored by the Brookline Bird Club.

If you RSVP "Yes", Sylvia will send you her cell phone number in case you have trouble finding her at the park.
