It’s that time of year again! The Brookline Bird Club will be leading daily birding trips through Mount Auburn Cemetery, an oasis for migrating birds, this spring from Wednesday April 17th through Sunday May 26th 2024.
All trips begin at the cemetery’s main entrance gate (580 Mount Auburn Street, Cambridge). Please visit our trips calendar or blue book for timing and trip leaders, which vary by day. The cemetery is easily accessible by MBTA and you can visit the Mount Auburn website for more information.
Please be respectful of the cemetery and its visitors, as this is an active cemetery. We can’t wait to see what this spring migration brings.
