Sorry for the late post. I had my first of the year Eastern Phoebe at the Leo J. Martin Golf Course in Newton Upper Falls on Saturday. It was (naturally) at the wooden bridge that spans the Charles River. I also hit Wellesley Town Forest. The more I explore/visit the Charles River, the more I realize what a true gem of green space this place is.
