The list below is a sample of birds seen in Wildwood on an average spring or summer day. This list was compiled by a graduate student from UMass during a one-day visit and bird watchers who frequent the cemetery let us know if they've spotted other species. Wildwood is a popular spot for migratory birds.

The following photos were taken by a camera set up on the edge of the cemetery grounds near Amherst Town conservation land by Todd K. Fuller, Professor in the Department of Environmental Conservation at the University of Massachusetts. Can you identify the different animals they caught in the act of resting, hunting for food, grooming, babysitting, flying, jumping and going about their business day and night? If you click on the first photo, the series turns into a slide show. Thank you Prof. Fuller for sharing the photos.
