This page is for all my Prospect Hill sightings and stuff, like the Charles River page. Lists
are set up the same way. Bold is noteworthy and the dates are the first sighting. Pictures
aren’t necessarily the same date as the first sighting, clicking on one should get the correct
date. Bad ones will be updated as I get better ones.

I have a few friends that have either birded the park regularly or
formerly lived on the edge. They can add a few more birds including:
Eastern Screech-Owl, Great Horned Owl, Fox Sparrow, Winter Wren, Great Egret,
Common Merganser, Great Blue Heron, Purple Finch, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker,
Bay-breasted Warbler, Blackburnian Warbler, Yellow-billed Cuckoo,
Great Black-backed Gull, Pine Siskin, Swainson’s Thrush, Cape May Warbler,
Evening Grosbeak, and Common Redpoll.
That brings the list that I know of in the park over 100.
