1.5 mile(s)
Comments:     Brookline Bird Club morning walk led by Jonathan Center. Areas covered were the main parking lot, bridge over Nashua River, Still River Depot Road, Tank Road and Riverside Trail. The Tank Road and Riverside trail were flooded and kept us from going any further. Our group did not get very far on these two paths. Weather was overcast with light rain, raw with temperatures in the mid 40s. Birding conditions were not optimal.
