Wednesday 6/26: Rock Meadow was fairly quiet, couple Indigo Buntings the most interesting. Gave the duck ponds a look too, zero waterbirds but did finally get a ‘commute’ raven for the month.
Thursday 6/27: Nothing exciting along the river in Watertown.
Friday 6/28: Winter Wren and night heron at Weston Station Pond plus FOY Common Wood-Nymph.
Saturday 6/29: Planned on a Suffolk/Norfolk loop to pick up a few things but went to Burrage instead.
Sunday 6/30: Did the loop planned for yesterday. Started with the Cliff Swallows nesting(!) in Hyde Park. Two buzzed in and out a bit right at the middle of the bridge. Somehow those are my first in MA away from Middlesex.
Continued to Fowl Meadow, which was pretty quiet (RB Grosbeak was a Norfolk June bird but not much else). Did have some decent bugs including Appalachian Brown, Mulberry Wing, and Illinois River Cruiser. Blue Hills next, did a quick loop and the Acadian was noisy, although otherwise uncooperative. Also FOY Dun Skipper.
Pulled in at the res on the way home and realized the Healthpoint Pond was a good spot for the time. Got some decent Comet Darner photos, an Amber-winged Spreadwing, and a Swamp Darner.
Monday 7/1: Family(?) of Blue-wings at BBN.
Tuesday 7/2: Louisiana Waterthrush at Estabrook plus FOY Little Glassywing.
