Brookline Bird Club – America’s most active bird club!

Cohasset to Scituate, Plymouth, Massachusetts, US
Feb 26, 2022 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Protocol: Traveling
10.0 mile(s)
Checklist Comments:    A cold, clear day with little wind. Friday’s snowfall prevented access to some of the off-road spots we usually visit, and one participant’s car had to be dug out with a great team effort including a sand truck from the Town of Cohasset! Surprisingly, no great cormorants were seen as in past years at this time. The trip started at the Cohasset Town Cemetery and ended at the Scituate Conservation Land opposit the Widow’s Walk golf course. Thanks to all participants.
