We will hike at a slow pace through easy to moderate trails in search of early spring arrivals in a variety of habitats, and check the ponds and marsh for migrant ducks and swallows. For the first part we will cover the eastern trails between Lake Chauncy and Little Chauncy (about 3 miles). Then we will return to Bartlett Pond/Watson Park. From there we will drive to the Wildlife HQs and hike the western trails (about 2 miles). Join for either or both parts.
