The great student exodus is underway! A line of packers was double parked in front of a Berklee College of Music dormitory on Commonwealth Avenue, last weekend.
In the weeks ahead, it can be best to avoid areas where "the big move out" is taking place. This includes student housing neighborhoods both on-campus and off.

Penny was out very early one morning when she captured this shot of a cardinal singing at the top of a tree. Our caption for the front page read:
Sweet Sound of Spring
"This Northern Cardinal sang long and loud from a Back Bay tree top. His song is a way to attract a mate and declare this territory as his. The redder the cardinal, the more attractive he is to mates because it’s a sign of a male who has found a good food supply."

Penny provided this week's cover shot. It's of the side garden at Zero Marlborough Street, across from the Public Garden. Take a walk by if you're in the area. That block of Marlborough is bursting with great floral displays.

Thank you to all the comfort and therapy dog teams who came to Boston to help in the healing process.
The crew in the photo above is from The Good Dog Foundation’s Disaster Response division. They deployed seven certified therapy dog teams to Boston to aid in the healing process of victims, first responders, and residents. Here's their report on their visit to Boston. They will be sending additional teams here throughout the month of May.
Along the way, we also saw some beautiful Golden Retrievers from the Lutheran Church Charities’ K-9 Comfort Dogs. They were here at the request of the First Lutheran Church on Berkeley Street in the Back Bay. You can read about their time in our city here.
Amy McCullough, national director of animal-assisted therapy for the American Humane Society, was interviewed on Boston.com. She explained how important this type of therapy can be in situations like the Marathon bombings. She and her dog Bailey were here partnering with Tufts Paws for People.
If you know of, or were part of, another group that has served the people of Boston, please add a comment below or send us an email
and we'll add a link to update our thank you list.
And, remember, all of these groups are non-profits and can use your donations to make sure they are ready to travel the next time they are needed. You can find links for donations on their websites.
