Protocol: Traveling
1.0 mile(s)
Comments:     BBC – Concord River Greenway, Lowell – Leader: Mike Baird – I led a walk for the Lowell Parks and Conservation Trust/Brookline Bird Club that focused on the Concord River Greenway that runs just outside the western side of the cemetery as well as the western portion of the cemetery proper. The weather was chilly with temps in the high 40s when we started but the sun was bright and it rapidly warmed. Most of the activity was from residents and breeders with only a few migrants passing through. With the trees still not fully leafed out, good looks were had of Baltimore Oriole, Yellow Warbler and Eastern Towhee by all.
