It was a beautiful blue-sky day—perfect to get out in Boston, explore a new neighborhood (Charlestown) and look for birds. We met some other birders who immediately became friends, as we sought out birds along the harbor and in city parks. It’s surprising how many birds are in the small city parks and landscaped areas around the neighborhoods (many house sparrows and robins!!!) but we did spot 16 different birds. We were a team of three gals out enjoying a fun day in Boston) Thanks to the organizer and would like this to be an annual event on Big Day Boston!
