Protocol: Traveling

1.375 mile(s)

Checklist Comments:    This was a Cape Cod Bird Club cosponsored walk with Brookline Bird Club and included 14 participants led by Peter Fang. It was a beautiful morning with full sun, a light breeze and temps in the high 60’s. We viewed from the main trail and in the vicinity of the kettle hole but the Blue Grosbeaks preferred to stay to themselves today. The Grasshopper Sparrows were active today, landing on snags close to the group providing very nice looks. Thanks to BBC members for making the trip and joining us.
