Bird is the Word – Let’s do some birdwatching in the neighborhood!
Nothing thrills me more than hearing a cardinal out my window. Its cheerful singing draws me to the window to look around and spot the red bird in a tree.  Think birdwatching is boring? Think again!  And finding birds beyond a pigeon and a common sparrow just takes looking out your window or a walk around the block.
The South Boston Public Library makes birdwatching a snap with their BirdWatching Kit! The kit contains binoculars, maps (created by the Mass Audobon) and a field guide.
Here’s our City BirdWatching Guide too!Â
