Protocol: Traveling
0.5 mile(s)
Comments:     Brookline Bird Club – Great Meadows NWR-Concord Unit – Leader: Kathy Dia – Cloudy but warm, upper 70’s F.  The impoundments have little water and quite a lot of vegetation this year. It was rather quiet except for an abundance of waders. Three of us stayed an extra half hour or so on the mid-dike platform and were rewarded with a Bittern sighting at around 7:30 pm. <br />Submitted from eBird for iOS, version 1.2.2 Build 70
