Big Day Boston, the friendly downtown birding competition, is returning to Copp's Hill Terrace in Boston's North End, Saturday May 4th 2024.
Participants will compete to spot the most species of birds over a six hour period starting at 10am. All will receive a checklist to keep track of their sightings.
BPL has the following photos in their archive labeled "Easter display in shop window, Boston, North End" with a date of 1964.
I'm not sure if the first images are Bova's? Or maybe Parzialle's or Boschetto’s? The metal facade on one of the photos makes me thing Bovas, but it doesn't exactly match what's there now.
Happy Easter!
