Now that we’ve made it through another round of snow, and all those sweets from Valentine’s Day…Are you looking for activities for school vacation? Here are a few ideas…

Winter Birds of Squantum Point Park
Squantum Point Park, Marina Bay Haul Road, North Quincy
Thursday, February 20, 11 am- noon
Rafts of eider and brant are a common sight during the winter months. Join the DCR crew at Squantum Point Park as they take a closer look at the ducks and seabirds that weather New England winters. Bring binoculars if you have them, some loaner pairs will be available. Meet at the white shelter by the pier at Squantum Point parking lot in Quincy.
Free.  For more information call 617-333-7405. [PDF of vacation activities from DCR]
