Spring Birds at Mount Auburn Cemetery

Description

Mount Auburn Cemetery is recognized as one of the premier birding destinations in Massachusetts. The cemetery's diverse horticultural collections and natural features attract many specimens of birds, both migratory and year-round residents. It is because so many birds can be found within the grounds that Mount Auburn has become a regular site of pilgrimage for thousands of bird watchers.
