Bird Monitoring at Select Cranberry Bog Restoration Sites in Southeastern Massachusetts

Lisa and Alan visited the Indian Brook Cranberry Bogs last Wednesday the 25th, their first visit to a DER Cranberry Bog Program Property. Even with restoration yet to start, the bird diversity was impressive. While the eBird checklist (https://ebird.org/checklist/S111237130) does not precisely reflect the data recorded for the actual DER survey, the 45 species they recorded during the morning show the potential this property has for birds.

Lisa visited the Pinnacle Bogs on Sunday the 29th (https://ebird.org/checklist/S111579434) and was thrilled with the Wood Duck pair, plus the abundance of birds using this property as well.
