I went to three places in Brookline, starting at Riverway Park. I then went to Hall's Pond, and I finished at D. Blakely Hoar Sanctuary, which is easy to get to by taking bus #51 from Reservoir Station.

P.S. Here are the places that I remember seeing weasels over the years: Franklin Park, Halls Pond, D. Blakely Hoar Sanctuary,Scituate, and Burrage Pond Hanson. The one in Scituate was about three weeks ago, and the one at Franklin Park was just a few days after the Halls Pond sighting!
