Saturday, January 25, 10:00 am – 12:00 noon – Annual Duck Walk with the Waltham Land Trust

Come to the popular Duck Walk and see beautiful waterfowl along the Charles River.  Tag along on this very popular walk along the Charles River to see dabbling and diving birds, visiting from Canada. In the past we have seen mergansers (hooded and common), ring necks, golden eyes, grebes, and others, even a bald eagle! Bring your binoculars, cameras, and bird books. Dress warmly–we only cancel if there is very heavy snow falling.  Meet in the back corner of River Street Shaw’s parking lot by footbridge.  For more information visit http://walthamlandtrust.org/calendar-events/annual-duck-walk/event_view?None&month:int=1&year:int=2014&orig_query=None
