In the style of a “Big Sit,” Mattapoisett Land Trust and Nasketucket Bird Club are hosting a fall birding program. A “big sit” is a type of birding event that usually lasts a prolonged period of time with the goal of identifying as many species of birds as possible while participants are all stationary and seated. For this program we are recreating the accessible nature of a “big sit” and so we’ll try birding together from a seated, stationary location at the Grace Meadow preserve.
Beginning promptly at 8:00 am on Sunday, September 29, the program will be led by Justin Barrett and Mike LaBossiere from Nasketucket Bird Club. All are welcome regardless of birding experience or physical capabilities. We just ask that you bring your own binoculars and a folding chair. MLT will provide some folding chairs, but we do not have enough for everyone, so please bring a chair or comfortable seat for yourself if you are able to.
The program will run from 8:00-10:00 am at the Grace Meadow preserve which is located at the end of Bowman Road, just off of Aucoot Road. Please RSVP on Mattapoisett Land Trust’s event page so we know to expect you. Close-toed shoes and long pants are recommended – dress comfortably for the weather. This is a free event open to all, hope to see you there. Email manager@mattlandtrust.org with any questions.
