More River
First time out in a couple weeks.
Didn’t get the camera up for the redpolls or the Peregrine. Scaup still around, not much else duckwise.
WIR 2/11-2/17
Nothing exciting in the yard all week and I didn’t get anywhere else.
WIR 2/4-2/10
Wednesday 2/4: Tree Sparrow in the yard finally.
Thursday 2/5: Eh
Friday 2/6: Got out of work early so made the quick stop at the Wayland Town Building that I’ve been skipping because of traffic. Couple hoodies, lots of blacks/mallards, and a few geese were it.
Saturday 2/7: Went looking for Redhead along the river. No luck with that but Lesser Scaup and Green-winged Teal were nice. Continued to Moody St, which was frozen but decided to walk anyway (redpoll or Bohemian in mind). Creeper was a nice surprise halfway down, but something was better at the other end. Nothing new on the way back and a very quick check of the Watertown end was totally frozen.
Sunday 2/8: Eh
Monday 2/9: Eh
Tuesday 2/10: Sigh
208
Prospect St bridge this morning.
WIR 1/28-2/3
Wednesday 1/28: Flicker across the street and Cooper’s were about it for additions to yesterday’s list.
Thursday 1/29: Nothing.
Friday 1/30: Nothing.
Saturday 1/31: Too windy.
Sunday 2/1: River walk about the same. Watertown end mostly frozen but about the same. Great Cormorants at Mystic Lakes. Hermit Thrush but little else at Dunback. Hairy in the yard.
Monday 2/2: More snow, nothing good at the feeders.
Tuesday 2/3: Cold/snow.
WIR 1/21-1/27
Wednesday 1/21: Flyover redpoll and distant calling Fish Crow at Dunback.
Thursday 1/22: Nothing new along the riverwalk.
Friday 1/23: Sharpie at Lindentree, which probably kept everything else down.
Saturday 1/24: Too snowy but Carolina Wren in the yard for the first time in several months.
Sunday 1/25: Redpolls, bluebirds, and Purple Finches at Dunback. Nothing exciting at Lot 1.
Monday 1/26: Few Ring-necks on the river on Pelham Island Rd plus an eagle further up 27.
Tuesday 1/27: Tons of the usual but nothing good at the feeders.
WIR 1/14-1/20
Wednesday 1/14: Did the river a bit. Eagle, same ducks, probable flock of redpolls.
Thursday 1/15: Only had time for a 2 minute scan of Pelham Island Rd, where a bluebird was the only thing of any interest.
Friday 1/16: Red-wings and bluebirds at Heard Farm.
Saturday 1/17: Too cold for me.
Sunday 1/18: Long walk around BBN and Rock Meadow. Sapsucker at RM, 2 Winter Wrens at BBN were most of it. Except for one of those 5 minutes of magic: 1-3 Yellow-rumps, 2 Ravens, and a Pintail all at Mackerel Hill.
Monday 1/19: Two eagles (1 banded!) at Forest Grove, nothing else exciting.
Tuesday 1/20: Absolutely nothing at College Pond.
WIR 1/7-1/13
Wednesday 1/7: Still too cold.
Thursday 1/8: Even colder but took the car out to let it run a bit. Geese, Mallards, Black Ducks, Ring-necks, and swans on the res.
Friday 1/9: Woodpecker
Saturday 1/10: River: 1-2 pintails (Newton and Prospect St), Iceland Gull, most of the expected wintering ducks. Twelve coots at the res.
Sunday 1/11: Dunback: no redpolls still but the Barred Owl was around again and a Purple Finch and Swamp Sparrow were new for the year.
Monday 1/12: Rather nasty out, wasn’t it?
Tuesday 1/13: Looped School St to Nine Acre without much (good number of larks, too windy to scope anything good among them). Coots and an eagle at the res.
