Field notes
Visitors can browse a Cambridge GIS-backed map by reporting time or reported mood, then submit a sighting by placing a pin; each pin may represent a flock. The page says submitted reports are validated before public sharing and photos appear only after approval, while displayed sample sightings are fictional. Its field guide links practical advice to MassWildlife and Cambridge sources, including guidance not to feed turkeys and what to do around an aggressive bird.
