Three of us walked the Fruitlands Museum trails this morning in Harvard (a Boxborough Birders/Brookline Bird Club co-led walk) and in spite of the wet weather we were able to hear and see some great birds -- highlights included excellent views of blue-winged warblers, common yellowthroats, chestnut-sided warblers, and several indigo buntings. See below for the bird list.
