A blog about birds in Somerville may seem like a blog about Bigfoot in Central Park. But contrary to many people's expectations, there are birds in Somerville, and not just pigeons, starlings, and sparrows. Somerville is home to a year-round population of native birds, and provides a stopover for dozens of migrating species. This blog is an attempt to show the kinds of birds that may be found here, even if they're just passing through. I hope other residents of Somerville will join me in sharing accounts and pictures of birds they've seen.
