Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge is a wonderful mix of habitats in a relatively small area. There is the possibility to see a large variety of birds here. We will slowly make our way across the central dike looking for waterbirds such as ducks, rails and, herons, then work our way around the edge of the pools to look for birds of the surrounding forest, including migrating warblers. The Concord River and farm fields behind it can also offer some surprises. Fall migration…
