Mass Audubon and Boston Parks and Recreation Department's first mutual bird walk is postponed today due to extreme cold.
The birds will be at Millennium Park today, but extreme cold has postponed the bird walk organized by Mass Audubon and the Boston Parks and Recreation Department. The West Roxbury Patch thermometer at 1 p.m. today lists the temperature as 10-degrees, which would be even colder atop Millennium Park. The bird walk was scheduled for 3:30 p.m. No future date has been set yet.
