Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge - May 13, 2012

South Shore Bird Club, Helen Cross-Leader
Sunday at Mt. Auburn was pretty slow given that it is mid-May. I assume that the birds came in with the window that opened Friday night and left Saturday night. There weren't a lot of birds and the trees were leafed, out making it a tough experience for both me and the beginning birders trying to locate active warblers in thick foliage.
