Fwd: eBird Report - Bear Creek Sanctuary (restricted access), May 18, 2025

[Soheil Zendeh]

Folks,

The report for the May 18 walk at Bear Creek Sanctuary, Saugus, is below. This was the last public walk of the season. We typically shut down the walks in mid-May and do not resume until late summer. Ground-nesing birds (Savannah Sparrows in particular) are scattered all over the property and we prefer to not disturb them.

My friend Geoff Wilson says "... We will be transitioning to salt marsh sparrow monitoring... Reach out if [you] have interest in being involved with that." You can contact Geoff at s2...@gmail.com.
