We saw that Mark Rosenstein posted on the Friends of Alewife Reservation Web site news of Spring:
I explored Alewife Reservation this morning from 7-9am. I got my first kingfisher of the year, and accidentally flushed a woodcock. At this time of year the underbrush isn't too bad, so I was able to get to Perch Pond. No wood ducks there, but it is where I saw the heron and sharp-shinned hawk.
