Mt. Auburn 5/2

From Naeem Yusuff:

Six intrepid birders joined the Brookline Bird Club walk this morning at Mt. Auburn Cemetery. Overall warbler numbers were down somewhat from last week, with a higher fraction of female/young male yellow-rumped warblers present. Highlights included the continuing blue-winged warbler near Palm Ave and black-billed cuckoo on Mound Ave.

Leslie Kramer and Tim Spahr saw a blackburnian warbler near Indian Ridge (the entrance end), although it was missed by the BBC trip. In addition, amazingly enough, two turkeys have been hanging around the vicinity of Indian Ridge (reported by LK).
