I walked around the pond at Cutler Park on my lunch hour today. That was supposed to be one of the attractions of this job. It worked — the pond is really there, and I can walk around it in 38 minutes, including side trails to the Charles and to a little point jutting into the pond that seems to be a particularly good birding spot. I saw three golden-crowned kinglets today as well as titmouse, nuthatch, swans, mallards, and song sparrow. It’s not a huge list, but I still consider the kinglets to be good birds.
