Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge

Mount Auburn Cemetery 536 Mt Auburn St, Cambridge, MA, United States

Mount Auburn Cemetery is lovely in all seasons.  In late March, we may see the very earliest migrants from the south (Red-winged Blackbird, others) as well as the remaining seasonal visitors from the north (e.g. White-throated Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco).  And our usual year-round resident species will have just started to sing!

Blue Hills

Blue Hills - Chickatawbut off Randolph MA, United States

This trip consists of several short (1-mile) hikes (the first is rather steep) to look for Turkey Vultures, Pileated Woodpeckers, Eastern Bluebirds, and early-arriving Eastern Phoebes and Pine Warblers.

Blue Hills Woodcock Walk in Fowl Meadow

Blue Hills - Burma Road 1361 Brush Hill Rd, Hyde Park, MA

We are usually successful in seeing the Woodcock's mating flight, and sometimes its mating display. We will hike 1 mile on a flat trail that may be wet.
