Over the weekend, I suffered a computer crash, and now that I am almost recovered from it, so I will catch up on my blog posts.
On Friday, May 18, 2012. Paul Champlin led a birding walk for six participants, for Allens Pond Massachusetts Audubon Sanctuary, to Mount Auburn Cemetery in Cambridge and then after we finished at Mount Auburn, we spent part of the afternoon at Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Concord, Massachusetts. For the entire trip, we saw approximately 60+ species of birds.
Mount Auburn Cemetery is and Important Bird Area, besides being an active cemetery, botanical garden and a wildlife preserve. Mount Auburn is a wonderful place to visit, even if you are not a birder.
Great Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, Concord Unit is also an excellent place to visit and observe nature at its best.
