Subject: [BostonBirds] 6/1 Fowl Meadow Lincoln's Sparrow, etc.
Imagine my surprise when I saw a Lincoln's Sparrow not too far down the path. It was near where the first raised sewer is located, on your right. There is also a tall pole there. Unfortunately, there is a fallen tree across the path (Burma Road) about one-third of the way down. I also went as far down as I could along the river path (about one-half mile) until it became unpassable and I had to turn around.

The Common Nighthawk(s) is back in its usual corner of the sky over Harvard Ave. This is not to be confused with the much longer Harvard Street in Brookline. This was a bit after sunset.
