Come and join us for a birding adventure with naturalists MJ Foti and Dann Jung at West Dennis Beach on Wednesday, May 20th at 8am.

We’ll meet at the East end of the West Dennis Beach parking lot just past the entrance. Enjoy a leisurely paced walk where you can see summer-breeding Piping Plovers, Willets, Ospreys, Least Terns and the many other species that thrive along this beach during our warmer months. Expect 1-2 miles of walking the long, paved road that borders the beach to the north and tidal marshland on the south side.

RSVP here.

About MJ Foti:

“I began coordinating walks for Cape Cod Bird Club in 2018 and enjoy working with a strong community of walk leaders and participants eager to share their time and experiences in our beautiful habitats and landscapes with a diverse group of individuals. I also coordinate the club’s annual waterfowl survey first begun by Blair Nikula in 1983. It presently consists of over 40 volunteers who survey about 350 ponds throughout the region every first weekend of December. Participants are instructed to identify and count all the waterfowl (loons, grebes, geese, ducks and coot) present on each pond and enter the info into our waterfowl survey database. The program has been an incredible success, not only in collecting long term data on these populations, but in getting people involved, and growing our conservation community.”

About Dann Jung:

“I am an aspiring naturalist / conservationist focusing on trees, birds and habitat. I first became interested when having conversations with my Great-grandmother.  I continued gaining knowledge when on bird and wild flower walks with my Mother. The possibilities and need for conservation became more apparent after reading Aldo Leopold’s “A Sand County Almanac”.  My readings now include books by Douglas Tallamy such as “The Nature of Oaks” and “Nature’s Best Hope”.  As conservation and ecosystems have no boundaries, I continue to read, watch, learn, do and inspire others.”
