If you want to look tomorrow, just drive in to the back parking lot of 120 Pulpit Hill Rd. in North Amherst. Henry Lappen, Amherst heron(at)henrylappen.com
[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: Migrants From: Richard Marchant <rmarchant31(AT)verizon.net> Date: 16 May 2008 7:04am To those interested.. I just let Wrinkles out for his last 'pippies' before bed and heard migrants overhead. The moon is Gibbous and the sky is clear. Please excuse my doggie endearment but this may herald a morning migrant landing!

[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: Manomet, 5/16/08 - Arctic Tern, Hooded Warbler From: Ian Davies <goshawk227(AT)earthlink.net> Date: 16 May 2008 8:15am I spent quite a nice day yesterday banding at MBO. We had good numbers of some warblers, and ended the day with about 130 birds banded. Also, most of the birds below are not banded, for some that is self explanatory, others not so much. The Bank Swallows are back at their fairly good sized colony here, and the Arctic Terns were feeding off shore with a large flock of Commons. The Hooded Warbler sang twice right in the middle of the day, and was never seen or heard from again. Hope we get him today! As of yet this morning it is nowhere near as good as yesterday, but a post will be forthcoming tonight anyways. Highlights below.

It was directly across the road from the pond, and it was moving around a lot - pretty tough to find actually!

Hi-lites were: Least Flycatcher and Tennessee Warbler near the new butterfly meadow behind Neville; 1st-year, male Orchard Oriole and Cape May Warbler near the golf course clubhouse (the oaks east of the clubhouse were "dripping with warblers", as they say; a nice male Blackburnian Warbler near the waterworks.

[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: White-faced Ibis & Plum I. 5-16 From: <dennisbake(AT)verizon.net> Date: 16 May 2008 3:16pm Hello massbirders, My brother David and I saw the White-faced Ibis on Scotland Road today May 16, 2008. Took some patience as most of the flock was in high grass and heads-down feeding. Also visited Plum Island but migration there was very limited. Only highlights on the island were: 2 Blue-winged Teals (North Pool Overlook) 5 Mute Swans (Salt pans) 1 Great Horned Owl (on nest) 2 White-crowned Sparrows, adults (Old Pines parking lot) We also heard a Virginia Rail calling behind Dunkin Donuts at the rotary across from the courthouse.

We also heard (for the first time in my experience) an insect like call of a female Black-and-White Warbler, when she was in the vicinity of a male, suggesting mating behavior?

[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: Birding Program at Molin School ~ 5/16/08 From: newburyportbirders(AT)comcast.net Date: 16 May 2008 5:40pm Birders, I led an after school, bird walk for the After School Environmental Club at the Edward G. Molin Upper Elementary School in Newburyport, and the participants were 4th and 5th graders with a keen interest in the natural world. Today's topic was "Food for Birds". A House Sparrow nest on the property allowed for an up-close and personal look at one nestling. The students saw the developing of feathers. The anatomy lesson started as we highlighted the eyes, naries, ears, cloaca, feet, toes, claws and gape. And, yes, that nestling left a fecal sac right in the palm of my hand. We chatted about the nestling's body temperature. The nestling was returned to the nest, and the adults were providing nutrition for the new life... We saw Northern Flickers at their nest tree. A pair of European Starlings were delivering food to nestlings and performing nest tidying duties, removing fecal sacs from the nest. An American Crow was foraging on the lawn. Three Killdeer were in flight overheard, calling "keeldee'e". A Northern Mockingbird was mimicking in a White Birch tree. American Robins flew in and out of the Courtyard. The food sources we chatted about were Blueberry and Serviceberry bushes with blooms. We hung oranges and provided grape jam for the orioles and catbirds. We cracked open blackoil sunflower seeds to see the hearts. We saw ants on the walkways. We placed mealworms in the feeder and saw woodpeckers' drill holes. A Turkey Vulture was overhead, seeking something nearby for dinner as I exited the school.
