Join Lynnfield Resident Gene Ellison for  a presentation on Birding in Lynnfield!  Learn about the cool birds we have here in town, where to find them, and how to be a more active birder!  Sign up for the second portion of this program as well, and go for a bird walk with Gene on Saturday, June 15th at 7:45 AM.  

Did you know that The Lynnfield Marsh is home to the largest nesting population of Rusty Blackbirds? In addition, the town of Lynnfield's diverse habitat attracts many different species; species that need specific habitat for food, shelter and nesting. We have a great birding community here and these 2 programs will be an introduction to how to enjoy these beautiful birds.
