Bird Walk with Jeff Collins, May 18th

A group of early risers joined Massachusetts Audubon’s Jeff Collins at Beals Preserve to learn about birds in the Southborough area. The birds seemed a little elusive this year, and many did not want to readily show their faces. But many in the group were surprised by the large variety of birds at Beals Preserve, including an Orchard Oriole and an Indigo Bunting. We hope to have a list of all the birds seen or heard posted in a few days.
