Almost-Spring Bird Walk
Although the temperature did not seem very spring-like, birds at Fresh Pond seemed to think it was spring. The walk got off to a good start with a flock of about 40 Cedar Waxwings eating the seeds of the Japanese Pagoda tree in front of Neville Place. We saw and heard Grackles, Red-winged Blackbirds, and Tufted Titmice displaying courting behavior. We ended at Neville Place with a mixed flock of Black-capped Chickadees, White-breasted Nuthatches, Tufted Titmice, Juncos, and a Hairy Woodpecker.
