At least their brethren, the mourning dove, is to stupid to figure out how to use the feeders. They just stand there looking blankly at the other birds enjoying the free grub.

They sure do. Need a BB gun downtown!

Well, assuming it will be over the USS Consitution, charlestown is a good bet ;)

Best vantage point I would think of, would be that really long pier down from 6th St / Terry Ring in charlestown...The one where you can get the water taxi from. Go to the bottom - you'll have a great view of the North End / Zakim Bridge / and a view from the water of the USS Consitution, the Charles river and most likely the fly over.

I am sure they would be coming up from Quonset (from the weekend's airshow that happened in RI), go right over / around the city, then fly over the river past Ye Olde Ship. Can't find anything online about their route though :(

Yeah, I would get onto Pier 4, like Harm says. The Navy Yard piers are more likely to be packed with people.

Another option, if you just want the planes, is LoPresti Park in East Boston.

Looks like the weather will be crap for a flyover - if they do it.

No, for me, this is fine...just a warmer version of back home (England) before I moved here. At least the rain isn't "sideways", and you can still venture out in T-shirt and shorts :)

The plus points of this slightly cooler than normal weather is that I don't need to turn on the AC so my electric bills are small :)

none of you got shots of the blue angels? They showed a great pic on the news yesterday of one of them hitting the sound barrier and the clouds flowed in a cool pattern off the wings...

Hey everyone, if anyone is down on the Cape this weekend that huge Russian Tall Ship is at Mass. Maritime. They're leaving around 10:30 a.m. tomorrow and being to tall to take under the bridges they're gonna spin her around in the canal. Should be interesting to watch them pull it off. I'll probably go and watch opposite MMA if anyone else decides to go and wants to meet up.
