This is the first of what I hope will be a series of "Bird Boxes".
Happy birding, boxing and birdboxing to all!

Location: Connor's Pond, Petersham, MA (Worcester County)

Trail: even-leveled path, easy

Clues: Fairly easy but not explicit

Getting There from points North: From exit 17 off Rte 2, take Rte
32S for 6 miles to Petersham center or from exit 21 off Rte 2, take
101S for about 7 miles to 32S to Petersham center. Just past
Petersham center, 122S joins 32S. Take a left here staying on 32S
and 122S (Barre Rd). Continue on this road for 2 miles until you see
a pond on your left and the "Swift River Reservation" sign on your
right. Take the immediate left at the end of the pond onto Pat
Connor Rd. [Continue straight onto the dirt road passing the large
brown "Enjoy Connor's Pond" sign to your left. Park in first or
second parking area by the pond on your left.]

Getting There from points South: Take the Mass Pike to Exit 8 in
Palmer or take Rte 9 to Ware. From either, take Rte 32N up through
the villages of Gilbertville and Wheelwright to Barre. (From Barre
center continue on 32N towards Petersham for about 5 miles. Take a
right onto Pat Connor Rd immediately before the pond. Continue with
directions in brackets above.)

Getting There from Worcester: Take 122N to Barre. Continue with
directions in parentheses above.

Clues:
Onward and northeastward
Through this quest you will prevail
Your treasure will lie hidden
Near the dotted blue shore trail

Kingfishers tunnel deeply
Into banks both dark and dank
But Fisher King is nestled
Midst nine tree trunks by the bank

Good luck. And don't forget to read the Waiver of Responsibility and
