Broad Meadow Brook Checklist

The following checklist of the birds of Broad Meadow Brook Wildlife Sanctuary is courtesy of John Liller, who compiled and organized the extensive field data taken at Broad Meadow Brook over the past several years. This checklist shows the relative probability of finding a species of bird throughout the year by the thickness of the line. A paper copy of this list can be obtained at the sanctuary office, 414 Massasoit Road, Worcester.
