About Boxborough Birders

Boxborough Birders is an enthusiastic group of bird watchers from Boxborough, Massachusetts and nearby towns, including Acton, Littleton, Harvard, Stow, Bolton, and Concord. The group:

  • Organizes walks throughout the year, especially during spring and fall migration with a primary focus on local “patches” (habitats) to document and learn about resident and migratory bird species.  Observations (and often photos) from each scheduled walk are posted to eBird, and shared with group members and MassBird.
  • Participates in the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count (Concord circle).
  • Has visibilities at Boxborough’s annual Fifers Day and other local events.
  • Periodically hosts presentations and other bird-related events.
  • Engages in advocacy on bird-related issues.

Mission Statement

Boxborough Birders serves Boxborough and nearby towns by creating a diverse and welcoming community where people of all ages, abilities, and levels of experience can share their enjoyment and knowledge of birds and bird conservation.
