Wednesday 10/30: Nothing much at College Pond other than a Pileated driving over. Couldn’t find the dabbling ducks at the res but did have a flock of scaup (awake ones were Lesser).
Thursday 10/31: Lesser Scaup, couple coots, 2 Palms about it at Fresh Pond.
Friday 11/1: Very few sparrows at Ricci but 2 were Field. Also 24+ turkeys, a bunch of pipits, a ton of robins overhead, etc. Quick check of the res had lots of ducks but nothing obvious of note.
Saturday 11/2: Started at Millennium where there were a few siskins, a couple Hermit Thrushes, a Winter Wren, and not too many sparrows. Great Pond next, did a full loop. Two BB Plovers, 2 Semipalmated, a Semipalmated Sandpiper, 2 Snow Buntings, 3 eagles, and Osprey, etc.
Sunday 11/3: Tried for some of the stuff seen recently on the Rose Kennedy Greenway without much luck. No chat, no Dickcissel, no towhees. Lincoln’s, 2 Swamps, sapsuckers about it. Went towards the public garden to look for kingbirds but ended up on Storrow looking for a space, so just continued to Revere Beach. Good number of Bonaparte’s but all far out. Had time for Winthrop Beach too. No oystercatcher but a golden-plover, pile of Dunlin, a few turnstones, 2 Bonaparte’s, a bunch of gannets, a few Snow Buntings, a few scoters, lots of loons were all good.
Monday 11/4: Got the BT Gray at Mt. Auburn after a bit of a wait, ‘commute’ #257!
Tuesday 11/5: Nothing of note at Cookson or along the river.
