Wednesday 8/5: Couple Redstarts at BBN and lots of orioles.
Thursday 8/6: More orioles at Rock Meadow. Four Broad-wings over the yard as I was walking back in.
Friday 8/7: Went to Wayland for the first time in awhile. Quick stop at the Pelham Island Rd bridge was very quiet. Heard Farm was also quiet, so I gave the bridge another pass on the way out. Solitary had dropped in but a Yellow-throated Vireo singing was nicer.
Saturday 8/8: Plum for a change. Avocet was easy, bunch of the expected yearbirds, didn’t get to the beaches at all. Nuthatch was moderately interesting (3 of those on the island compared to 3 avocets). Quick stop at Hobbs Brook on the way home had a juv night-heron and a Least Sandpiper.
Sunday 8/9: Five species of herons at Hobbs Brook including my first Snowy Egret in Lexington (and second in the county away from Great Meadows) plus a few Semipalmated Sandpipers. Quiet ode walk at the Cranberry Bog after.
Monday 8/10: Two Blue-wings but not much else at BBN.
Tuesday 8/11: Decent number of Bank Swallows but that was about it at Great Meadows.
