Birdwatching in Massachusets Birding contacts and birdwatching information Local Birdingpal Contacts Local Birdwatchers Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. Initial Last Name Area Available Language R Scherer Amherst Anytime English/GermanSpanish I list Amherst as my locale as it is easier to find, but actually the areas I would show visitors are in Orange and Wendell MA, rural areas to the north and east of Amherst. There is lots of good riparian habitat, mixed deciduous/mixed age woodlands, a lot of old farm fields, and some limited areas of spruce at higher elevations for some typically more northern species. You could link my name to the MA breeding bird atlas for Orange Blocks 5 and 8, they are my home turf. http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bba/index.cfm?fa=explore.ResultsByBlock P White Harvard, Bolton Anytime English My home area of Harvard and Bolton in central Massachusetts includes farmland, overgrown fields, mixed deciduous forest, some mature pine forest, a number of wetlands, beaver ponds, wet woodlands, and a powerline right-of-way with low scrubby vegetation. Some local birding areas are Oxbow WMA, Bolton Flats WMA, Delaney WMA, Wachusett Reservoir IBA, and Fruitlands Museum. I am working on the MA breeding bird atlas for Ayer Blocks 3 and 9 and Hudson Block 7 (in which I live) http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov:80/bba/index.cfm?fa=explore.ResultsByBlock&BBA_ID=MA2007.
