An errand brought us back to where Brookline meets Mission Hill. Notice the MATEP tower, seen from the opposite side than I usually photograph it. As long as we're in the neighborhood...

May as well stop in to Flanns for some steak and eggs!

And a nice pint of Murphy's Stout.

Then back at our old place we noticed a flash of blue in a flock of house sparrows! This escaped pet budgerigar tempted me to create a more urban species entry. But while this species Melopsittacus undulatus has formed feral urban flocks in Florida and other tropical locations, loose parakeets in Boston are unlikely to survive the winter.
