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

Lowell Cemetery, Middlesex, Massachusetts, US
May 10, 2018 6:30 AM – 9:00 AM
Protocol: Traveling
1.0 mile(s)
Comments:     I led a walk co-sponsored by the Lowell Parks & Conservation Trust and Brookline Bird Club for 14 participants along the Concord River Greenway and the western side of Lowell Cemetery on a cool, overcast morning. There was a lot of activity, especially early, from nesting species like Baltimore Oriole (carrying nest material) and Yellow Warbler (many singing males). By 8:30 the maintenance crews were out in the cemetery making it difficult to hear birds singing but most participants got good looks at many species.

  • Quabbin Reservoir (was July 5)

    Quabbin Reservoir - Gate 10 235 Daniel Shays Hwy, Pelham, MA, United States

    With the extreme heat conditions the leader has decided to walk Gate 10 until 9:00 am and then turn back to the cars.  This section of the walk is under trees and is much more comfortable than the trip back out of the Quabbin.  Back at the cars we can decide to go to Quabbin
