Mount Auburn Cemetery Birdwalk



Join Dezeree and Benjamin for a spring migration birding event at Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge, MA.

Mount Auburn Cemetery is recognized as one of the premier birding destinations in Massachusetts. The Cemetery’s diverse horticultural collections and natural features attract many specimens of birds, both migratory and year-round residents.  It is because so many birds can be found within the grounds that Mount Auburn has become a regular site of pilgrimage for thousands of bird watchers, from both near and far.

From mid-April to mid-May hundreds of birders flock to Mount Auburn for some of the best bird watching in the area.  Please remember that Mount Auburn is an active Cemetery, carrying out funerals, cremations, and burials and serving the needs of grieving families. 

The main gates open at 6:00am.  Park inside early and meet us in front of the chapel by the main gates at 7:00 AM. We will begin the walk from there at 7:15 AM sharp.

Remember to wear appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear. Prepare for weather, bring bug or tick spray, binoculars, water, and a field guide, and most importantly, turn your phone off.
