Summer Walking Tours with Dee Morris
West Medford Multi-Taskers :
The Friendly Neighborhoods of Brooks and Irving Streets
Saturdays, June 22, July 13, and September 28 at 10:00 a.m.
Meet on High Street at the corner of Brooks St.
Historian Charles Brooks said that this hillside was a place where pure air comes from theheavens and pure water from the earth. The area attracted energetic people, many of whom worked in Boston yet appreciated the tranquility of their large gardens.
Some were bankers, engineers teachers and shop keepers. Others such as members of the Ham family were masons and carpenters. Edward Kakas, a Hungarian, settled here in the 1860’s, quickly establishing himself as the premier New England furrier. Background did not matter, rather, building a vibrant community was everyone’s job.
Presented by the Friends of the Medford Public Library.

Everyone loves owls! Yet, how many of us have ever seen a live owl up close? Mark and Marcia will share the field marks, signs and naturalist’s skills that you can use to find wild owls without disturbing them, while introducing you to six live owls up close.
Join naturalist Marcia Wilson and photographer Mark Wilson in sharing their passion for owls! “Who’s Watching You? Owls of the World” will introduce you to the owls of New England and beyond. Some owls such as Great Horned, Barred and Eastern Screech Owls are more common than you may think. Boreal owls and Great Gray owls are a rare find here, yet are found on other continents, too. Others like Snowy Owls, Eurasian eagle owls and familiar Barn Owls feature in popular movies and nature programs.
Everyone is treated to a hooting lesson, as well as tips on how to attract and protect owls near you. This interactive program is both educational and Fun!
