Songbird Migration Field Classes with Peter Trull 

The upland and wetland thicket habitats around the West Reservoir at Bell’s Neck Conservation Lands are prime locations to explore in mid-May. The pine/oak/tupelo woodlands and groves of inkberry and highbush blueberry attract migratory songbirds from canopy to forest floor. Join Field Naturalist Peter Trull on a slow, focused quest for spring migrants, with possible sightings of colorful warblers, vireos, tanagers, grosbeaks, and orioles. Learn about the unique adaptations, life history, and habits of each bird species we encounter.

Walk leader Peter Trull has been involved in Research and Education for over 45 years. He holds a Master’s Degree in Education and has written nine books about Cape Cod natural history. His most recent book Birds of Paradox-The Life of Terns, was released in spring 2019. His upcoming book, Cape Cod – Once Around the Sun, is a tribute to John Hay and his 1961 classic, Nature’s Year.
