Notice: There are two events taking place in the Blue Hills with the Brookline Book Club. There are two start times at two different locations.
The Brookline Bird Club (BBC) is the largest, and one of the oldest and most active of the bird clubs in the US. Membership is open to all who are interested in birds and nature.
Both event descriptions are below

Sunday Evening, March 30, 6:30 pm – Woodcock Walk in Fowl Meadow (Add to Calendar)
FBH joint walk with Brookline Bird Club. Hike one mile to witness the spring mating flight of the American
