MARION — The Sippican Lands Trust and the Nasketucket Bird Club are pairing up to offer a Summer Bird Walk around Marion on Saturday, July 27 starting at 9 a.m. from the Island Wharf parking lot in Marion.

The trip will be led by Justin Barrett, President of the Nasketucket Bird Club, and Carol Molander, a bird club member. The group will carpool or caravan to overlooks and some Sippican Lands Trust properties around Marion to view resident osprey, common and roseate terns, and other shore birds.

The walk should take two and a half hours or so. The Lands Trust recommends that participants dress appropriately for hiking on trails use insect spray and sunblock and bring water and binoculars. 

The bird walk is free, and no registration is required. Some of the sites may require a quarter mile walk to water views. If the walk is canceled due to inclement weather, then information will be posted to Lands Trust website and Facebook page.
