Rather than a Waltham list this year, I’m going to do a patch list. The patch will be the area from Lexington/Waltham St. to Concord Ave to Mill St to Trapelo Rd, so basically Beaver Brook North, the Beaver Brook Ponds, and Rock Meadow. I’m hoping for 3 visits a week (150 hours minimum) and 125 birds and 200 things in total.

So far:
