Occupied!
A Tree Swallow peeks out from Nesting Box #1 located near the water in front of the Water Department building, Last year swallows raised a family in this very public location.
This year Friends of Fresh Pond Reservation working with the Cambridge Water Department have put up 11 boxes for Tree Swallows and 4 boxes for smaller birds such as Black-capped Chickadees. Pond walkers who observe any kind of animal activity around any of the boxes are asked to write down their observations and leave them in the box in front of the Ranger Station window (you can use one of the light orange observation sheets in the box), or e-mail friendsoffreshpond@yahoo.com , or call Ranger Jean at 617-349-4793 and leave a message. Thank you for your help!
