Annual Duck Walk, January 18, 2020
January 18, 2020
On January 18, thirty folks braved chilly temps to participate in our annual walk along the Charles River from the Shaw’s on River Street to Moody Street and back. We were in search of visiting and resident waterfowl, perching avian and birds of prey. We saw mallards, Canada geese, crows, a Cooper’s hawk, male and female Hooded mergansers, a Great blue heron, male and female ring neck ducks, mocking birds, and a red-tailed hawk. We also checked out the new pathway connecting Elm Street to the Embassy Theater parking lot near Moody Street. Join us next year!

Over 60 nature lovers of all ages came to Christ Church for a program with Rick Roth the Snake Man and the Cape Ann Vernal Pool Team . We were introduced to many snakes found in New England and the world. Members of the team walked through the audience with them so everyone could see up close and take photos. Afterwards, brave people who wanted to hold the legless reptiles were given that opportunity. Many thanks to the Waltham Cultural Council for supporting this event!
