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

Not nearly as many species as last year and generally rather slow for birding, but we still managed to get some nice birds, and had a great trip today along the NH coast.  Light to moderate westerly winds and lots of sun with seasonable temperatures.  A nice fall day!  Still no major frost yet on the coast and still lots of flowers and a lot of insect activity.   LOTS of butterflies and a few dragonflies noted.
