Well, hm, I dunno exactly where this came from, but don't be deceived by the
comparison.

If Chris Hill is about, he may have some input on hot WMass spots. My birding
life began there, but I don't think you want any 25-year-old site guide,
Michael! I'm fairly certain there's a web site.

Actually, a couple of sites do come to mind... Quabbin Resevoir can be a hot
spot. It's quite large and has a lot of protected, semi-accessible land around
it. Arcadia is a state park, I think, near Northampton. Down near
Springfield/Longmeadow is Fannie Stebbins refuge. ... Where exactly do you
expect to be and will you have a vehicle?
