Dear birders and friends,
People who don't like cute little kid stories should delete this
email immediately with my apologies.
My 15-month-old son has taken to saying something that sounds a lot
like "bird" every time I open his shades in the morning. I thought he
might just be mispronouncing "world," because I often say "hello
world" when I get him up for the day, but I was hoping he was showing
signs of an early appreciation for the vertebrate class Aves.
Yesterday morning I got him in the stroller and started rolling him
up the block when a European Starling flew overhead.
He pointed at it with his finger, tracked it across the sky and
nailed the id: "Bird!"
His very first solo identification ever.
I am resisting the temptation to start a list for him.
My excitement is tempered a bit by the fact that he often makes the
same call when he sees a squirrel (which at least is a living animal)
or when he sees moving shadows on a wall or on the sidewalk, and by
the fact that he has started saying "woof woof" (his name for
doggies) when he sees the Canada Geese at Forest Hills Cemetery. He
also often calls people "woof woof."
Thought I'd share, since a few of you have met him in the field or
expressed some interest in Lucas's birding progress, and since he's
been such a big part of my birding the last year and a bit.
All the best.

Sorry for the late posting; I have just joined this group. On
Sunday, 11 May, just after noon, my wife and I saw a pair of Coopers
Hawks copulating in a tree on Kendall Road, Lexington. The much
smaller male flew into the tree where the female was sitting on a
large branch.
Earlier that morning I had seen in Dunback Meadow, Lexington, some 42
species, including 6 warbler species. The highlights were a single
singing Blue-winged Warbler and at least 2 Rose-breasted Grosbeaks.

Hello Massbirders
This morning while atlas-ing one of my blocks at Bennett Meadow in
Northfield, I spotted a pair of Green Herons. The male was performing
neck plumage display as described in "The Birders Handbook". Now to
find the nest! Still waiting for a decent warbler wave to come
through. I checked out Poet's Seat ridge in Greenfield earlier today
and is typically a good warbler route, but was strangely quiet today,
with only one Black-throated Green, 2 Red-eyed Vireo, and a Yellow-
throated Vireo.

Ida, Shane Hunt and I birded Wompatuck this am. We found the Hooded warbler
at Gate 11.Our other
significant find was at the very end of the road. I was looking for what I
thought was a parula
singing and when I found it , it was a Cerulean!!! Ida and I watched it for
a short time and then it headed into the woods along the trail that goes
along the cyclone fence. What a wonderful sight. Haven't seen one for several
years.

I was watching a pair of Eastern Phoebes feeding young, and realized
that one had a black chest. I was only able to get a couple of
second-rate photos, but they are interesting. The feathers on the breast
appear abnormal apart from the color - spiky, as if they were wet. You

I'm glad that I subscribe to NHBirds or else there wouldn't be anything to read
this week. :)
I am forwarding this report from Steven Price of a Brewster's Warbler in Devens.
Steve has included a link to photos.

>Subject: Warbler ID
>Steve, This morning I found what I believe to be a "Brewster's" Warbler off
of Lake George St in Devens, MA. It's call was the typical introductory "Bee"
followed by a triple Bz-Bz-Bz that I think was much quicker than the typical
Golden-winged. Anyway, it was enough to get me hoping that I heard a
Golden-winged, but when I found him he had only the Blue-winged amount of
darkness through the eye, but (hopefully, you can tell from the lousy pictures)
he had far less yellow on the underside. In fact, his throat and belly looked
mostly white with yellow on the forehead and chest. I realize these pictures
stink, but would appreciate your thoughts on the matter. If you can ID him
from the photos, feel free to share it with the Massbird community.Pictures are
here:http://picasaweb.google.com/eggshapedcat/BrewsterSWarbler Thanks,Steven

Subject: New life on Plum Island 5-14-08
From: <njlandry(AT)verizon.net>
Date: 14 May 2008 3:30pm
PI/MA birders,
For the past three years I have been fortunately been shown or found an American
Woodcock on nest. This year seemed more special as I had shown to other what
they might have missed, the American Woodcock. How some were astounded that
someone, not me, had found this beauty along the marsh trail in among the
leafage. And I agreed each time how special it was.
Today I had off and one of the first places I went to was the see if the
woodcock was still on her nest. When I got there I found that she was but
something was different. Next to her I could see two eggs. Someone had told me
that they had seen her move off the nest and had seen two eggs. One of these
eggs had hatched as I could see the opening. Why was she still here? Were there
more eggs to hatch? The answer came shortly as the mother woodcock got up and
walk back behind the small tree that I had used as a landmark on finding her. As
she moved of the nest first one then two and then three and four heads popped
up. She had had her babies during the night and had four not two eggs to hatch.
I tried to get some photos of the hatchlings, but the sun had only been up for
twenty minutes and the light to little. So I watch for the few minutes that it
took her and hatchling to walk around the tree and then back to the nest and
settle back down. I was surprised to see this as I thought that once the eggs
hatch the mother would take them away fro the nest and not return. My thoughts
were that maybe there was one egg left to hatch that I had not noticed or she
was waiting for the day to get just that little bit warmer before disappearing
into the wood.
I came back to the spot about an hour later to find that her had finally left.
Will I ever have such a special moment like this ever again?
For those of you who would like to see the only picture I got of the woodcock
and one of her babies, I am posting it on my website at:
http://www.pbase.com/image/97069344
If you look closely you will see an egg to her left and the baby to the right
next to her bill.
Good birding to all.

Subject: Muddy River Hooded Warbler -- NO
From: "Pamela A. Perry" <paperry6(AT)yahoo.com>
Date: 14 May 2008 5:24pm
I birded the section of the Muddy River today from 4:20-4:55 (had to watch the
time because I had to be to work across the street at Emmanuel College Library
at 5) where I saw the Hooded Warbler yesterday around the same time. No luck.
I did have some birds, however:
Northern Waterthrush
Ovenbird (2)
Magnolia Warbler
Redstart (heard only)
Nashville Warbler (heard only)
Black and White Warbler
Yellow-rumped Warbler
Northern Parula
I had to resist the urge to yell "Don't eat that!" to the waterthrush as it
poked along the rather unappetizing muddy water!

Subject: Cape May Day at Mt. Auburn
From: "Floyd, Chris" <chrisf(AT)mitre.org>
Date: 14 May 2008 6:34pm
There were a minimum of four Cape May Warblers at Mt. Auburn Cemetery
this morning, and a couple of them accommodated quite a few fans with
nice views. I spent most of my morning looking at one Cape May Warbler
or another.
A male was seen bathing at the Dell Pond around 0800, then heading up
the slope to oaks on the far side of Laurel Avenue, where it sang and
eventually gave decent looks to anyone who tried. Around 1000, very
likely the same bird was still singing vigorously above Hydrangea Path.
Another male was reported by many from Indian Ridge. When I got over
there (the location was roughly half way between the start of IR Path
and Halcyon Lake) around 0930, I found a male and female loosely
associating, sometimes a foot or two apart. I never heard this male
sing.
I heard a solid report of another female earlier along IR Path in the
vicinity of Auburn Lake.
Another highlight was a Tennessee Warbler that was singing most of the
morning in an oak between Harvard Hill and Palm Avenue.

While we had 2 Cape May=B9s, Jeffery Offerman reported having 3. Of the bird=
s
we had, one was on Indian Ridge Path from at least 7 am until noon, seen by
many. The other was around Laurel Ave. where there was also a Blackburnian
being seen with regularity.
At one point there were 3 species of warbler bathing in the pool at The Del=
l
(Black-throated Green, Blackburnian and Nashville). The other warbler
highlight for us was a Tennessee which was ~northwest of the Tower, singing
fairly regularly. While tough to see from below, we had great views from
the path to the Tower. Adding to the fun were 2 Bobolinks hanging around
the Indian Ridge Path.
18 Warbler species (order in which recorded):
Yellow-rumped 50+
Black-and-white 17+
Ovenbird 5
Black-throated Green 9

Ironically, upon returning home from a dog/bird walk, Jess and I went right to
Sibley's and Peterson Field Guide to Warblers after seeing/hearing a bird we
weren't quite familiar with. After watching it for over 3 minutes in great
light, checking the guides, and reading Steve G's post about the other
Brewster's, we feel pretty confident that is the bird. However, having never
seen and/or heard one before, we're hoping we could leave it up to some birders
that have experience with this bird...
Those that know turkey hill... Hiking up from the 3A side... when you get to
where the top main path turns from gravel to grass, stay straight, don't go left
up the hill. As you continue to go straight (100 yards or so?) You will see
an old bird house in front of a serious group of thickets... the bird was teed
up to the right of the bird house singing. If you don't know Turkey Hill, the
easiest entrance is off of route 3A on the Hingham/Cohasset line...The song was
3 second trill with a long sustained distinct buzz at the end.
We will be back in the afternoon tomorrow (things like earning a living get in
the way)... Please keep us posted if others get any info...
Best Regards,
Steve and Jess Maguire

Subject: Fw: eBird Report - BHI--Little Calf Island ,
5/14/08
From: "rstymeist(AT)juno.com" <rstymeist@juno.com>
Date: 14 May 2008 8:44pm
Today, on a survey of Calf Island, a small island (18.5 acres) we were happy to
find in access of 95 Common Eider nests- surveying just half of Calf! Last year
we found 71 nests on the entire Island.
See photos at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rstymeist/sets/72157605055086558/
Also encouraging was the number of Black- crowned Night Herons that have just
started to nest. I saw at least 32 adults. A pair of Oystercatchers are on the
island but did not seem territorial, they did nest last year and we presume they
will this year. There is also a large Great Black-backed and Herring Gull
colony as well as a Double crested Cormorant colony which we will try to
estimate from a boat tomorrow.

Subject: Black-billed Cuckoo at Jamaica Pond, Boston 5/14
From: Jake Miller <fiatlux.interport(AT)rcn.com>
Date: 14 May 2008 9:04pm
Birders,
While I was trying (without much luck) to locate singing warblers in
the oak and maple canopy near the intersection of Perkins and
Chestnut on Jamaica Pond, a Black-billed Cuckoo popped into the field
of view of my binoculars, posed for a moment, then flew directly over
my head toward Brookline.
Other highlights of the day:
3 Ovenbirds singing simultaneously at Forest Hills Cemetery (across
the street from where the moose/elk/deer sculpture used to be)
5 Orchard Orioles (1 ad m, 2 f at Forest Hills, 1 adult male at
Willow Pond in Olmstead Park and 1 adult male in the rose garden at
the Arboretum)
Many, many Yellow-rumped Warblers at Forest Hills, including 15 who
flew left to right through a flowering fruit tree in the space of two
minutes, one after the other like they were in a parade.
Good birding!

Subject: Plum Island Hellcat Woodcock: Some Background

We=B9re grateful for Nancy Landry=B9s report of the hatching of the American
Woodcock chicks off the Hellcat Swamp boardwalk on Plum Island, and more
than a little envious. I don=B9t know who first discovered the nest, but am
inclined to believe it was my wife, Julie, who spotted the bird on the
morning of April 19. (No one we saw earlier mentioned the bird prior to
that.) What strengthens that opinion is that Julie first spotted the bird
crouched more than a yard or so south of the recent nest. We, which include=
d
Kathryn Chihowski, watched the bird rumba in a sitting position, shaping a
cup in the leaf litter, and moving leaves and sticks about, clearly
establishing her nest. We watched quietly for perhaps half an hour as she
went about her work, fidgeting, fussing, and always acting a little
unsettled until she seemed to have the bowl just right and began to sit
quietly. Marveling at the exquisite beauty of the bird =AD what can Brown do
for you? =AD with more gray than I had ever seen before on a woodcock, we
proceeded down the boardwalk in futile pursuit of any warblers.
=20
When we returned some time later, the bird was gone. I think I was the one
who discovered it sitting very quietly a yard or two north of where we had
seen it preparing what we thought to be its nest. I think it had indeed
established a nest cup but had been clearly uncomfortable with it and moved
north to the site where we eventually saw it for four consecutive weeks.
Last week we saw it outbound, and were shocked to not see it on the nest
inbound . Instead, we spied two eggs partially exposed, far larger than we
expected. As Julie said, =B3Ouch, that must hurt.=B2 (Research confirms that
th=
e
eggs are unusually large for a bird of this size.) The hen came waddling
back to the nest while we watched and resumed incubation.
=20
With synchronous hatching, and an incubation period ranging from 19-22 days=
,
this gorgeous female probably began laying an egg a day on the 19th or 20th
and began incubating three days later. As Nancy said, it has been a
wonderful experience, and I will miss seeing that beautiful bird. I=B9m also
happy to know that the raccoons, weasels, foxes, coyotes, and Crows did not
get these eggs. She has been a highlight in what has otherwise been a prett=
y
miserable spring for weekend birding.

Hello -
This year, as in other years, I have put out orange halves on the deck =
in a plate for Orioles. In years' past a male(s) would visit pretty =
regularly for a few days and once he met a mate, the Orioles would only =
be seen flying overhead, never stopping to snack on oranges again. =20
There are two nests that we know of - one out back (same spot in same =
tree for 4th year) and one out front. The biggest change we've noticed =
this year is how much they're eating. I put out 4 orange halves each =
morning and by the next morning, all that is left is skin and very =
little pulp. The Orioles are visiting all day long (a very enjoyable =
sight!) and not only do they eat the oranges, they also devour the =
mealworms that I put out for the Bluebirds (who have babies in the =
box!). The Orioles don't go near the Hummingbird feeders.
Does anyone have an idea as to why the Orioles would be so actively =
feeding this year as opposed to previous years? I am not complaining, =
by any stretch of the imagination, but just curious. =20
Thanks!
