Nothing thrills me more than hearing a cardinal out my window. Its cheerful singing draws me to the window to look around and spot the red bird in a tree. Think birdwatching is boring? Think again! And finding birds beyond a pigeon and a common sparrow just takes looking out your window or a walk around the block.
The Boston Public Library (Grove Hall Branch) makes birdwatching a snap with their BirdWatching Kit! The kit contains binoculars, maps (created by the Mass Audobon) and a field guide. You can also reserve a kit at these locations too!
Here’s our City BirdWatching Guide too!
