Crane Swamp Conservation Area

Nine Forbush Bird Club birders enjoyed a May morning bird walk at Crane Swamp Conservation Area (a MWRA watershed protection area) and Cedar Hill (a Sudbury Valley Trustees property) led by Laura Lane. A beautiful day and an abundance of both migrating and local breeding birds provided a great morning of birding.
