Wednesday 4/23: Lot of Savannahs, nesting Cooper’s, a few Hermit Thrushes, three turkeys, a Mourning Cloak, and not much else at Dunback.
Thursday 4/24: Bunch of arrivals at Forest Grove including BH Vireo, catbird, Black-and-white, Nashville, and Chimney Swifts. Lot of other birds but they were mostly Yellow-rumps.
Friday 4/25: Started towards College Pond but it was unexpectedly pouring and didn’t appear to be a passing shower, so I went to Heard Pond. Solitary, eagle, Osprey, Rusty, few other things. Did let up enough to walk but almost everything was visible or audible from the car. Snipe flew by while I was scanning the marsh on the way out. Had time for the res, which had a loon and 2 Bufflehead.
Saturday 4/26: Did a quick run around the res and Nine Acre before the rain got too bad. Two loons on the res, ibis flying at Nine Acre, and that was about it.
Sunday 4/27: Town listing plus lots of swifts and swallows at the res on the way home.
Monday 4/28: Hanscom and Gaining Ground had FOY Great Crested, Northern Waterthrush, Blue-winged, and Yellow Warbler plus House Wren, thrasher, 4 kestrels, 2 Black-and-whites, and more. Also Eastern Pine Elfin, azures, a duskywing, Six-spotted Tiger Beetle, and Common Green Darner.
Tuesday 4/29: Little quieter than hoped for at BBN. FOY Parula and oriole plus BT Green, Blue-winged, kingbird, more of the same insects, etc.
