This morning Carla Dengler and I birded Brooks Estate and part of the
adjacent cemetery from about 7 to 9.
There was a Yellow-throated Vireo, singing and intermittently visible high
in the treetops at the stump dump.
There was also a late Yellow-bellied Sapsucker, in the strip of woods
between the cemetery and the pond, between the old cemetery and the sparrow
pit.
Warblers:
Black-throated Blue
Black-throated Green
Redstart

N. Parula

Subject: Prothonotary Warbler Forest Hills Cemetery Yes
5/23
From: Jake Miller <fiatlux.interport(AT)rcn.com>
Date: 23 May 2008 10:40am
Birders--
I had the bird briefly as a flyover between the two thickets that
separate the old and new parts of the cemetery. (I forgot to look at
street names when I was there, but looking at the map now, I believe
it was near the intersection of Rockwood and Redbud.) I remained for
about 20 minutes and did not ever relocate the bird and it didn't
sing. It was approximately 9 a.m.
As it flew over, the bird showed a lemon yellow throat and belly and
starkly contrasting, bright white undertail coverts and undertail. It
seemed big headed and large for a warbler. My first impression was
Prothonotary (I've seen a few in DC and Virginia and one in Texas),
but I couldn't rule out Yellow-throated Vireo from memory. I came
home and checked Sibley's, and the only bird that shows that
combination of bright yellow anterior underparts and a white
undertail is Prothonotary.
It's possible that the bird stopped briefly in that small island of
oaks, but it may have also kept going out the other side. It was
headed roughly in the direction of Scarboro Pond, which, as Stuart
Walker pointed out, would be excellent habitat.
The area around Lake HIbiscus was fairly quiet this morning, except
for the lawnmowers. I think I arrived after most of the birders had
left.
Other highlights included a Swainson's Thrush foraging in the leaf
litter that was just blown in by a lawnmower-mounted leaf blower, and
singing Indigo Bunting and Scarlet Tanager near the stump dump on the
Wachusett side of the cemetery, where a pair of Mallards remain in
the vernal pool.
Good birding,
Jake Miller

Subject: Wompatuck SP--Cerulean & Hooded warblers-Yes
From: AJ Pellegrini-Toole <aptoole(AT)yahoo.com>
Date: 23 May 2008 1:18pm
Saw the Cerulean warbler this morning (23 May) near Boundary Pond in
Wompatuck SP.
The bird was directly over my head in very bad light on the trail across
from the pond. It
then flew into the woods along the road across from the pond and sang
constantly. Eventually
another birder spotted it in the open and good light so that the small
group of us got a brief
look at him. He moved and shortly after stopped singing.
The Hooded warbler, in contrast, at Gate 11 is very cooperative and
gorgeous in the morning sun.

----INCLUDING text/plain MIME SECTION----
From the perspective of how important these refuges are to birders,
I thought providing this information of the state of the system and
our refuges would be of interest to all of you.
Today, the Associated Press wrote the following article in response
to the newly released report from the Cooperative Alliance for Refuge
Enhancement (CARE).
<http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jTCE1GltRFenmEBA1sGewZvIgO0QD90R9DI00>http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jTCE1GltRFenmEBA1sGewZvIgO0QD90R9DI00
. The Cooperative Allliance for Refuge Enhancement is a coalition of
organizations dedicated to improving funding for operations and
maintenance of National Wildlife Refuges. For more information about
CARE, go to www.fundrefuges.org/care/carehome.html . To view the
report, go to www.fundrefuges.org/new-pdf-files/CAREreport2008.pdf .
The story has already been picked up by more than 170 news outlets
nationwide including the NY Times, MSNBC, Time, the San Francisco
Chronicle and the Washington Post. The story highlights the
challenges and threats facing our National Wildlife Refuges. From AP
"The report says the refuge system has cut 300 staff positions.
Without more funding, a plan to reduce staffing by 20 percent will
continue..."
Thanks to Desiree Sorenson-Groves of the National Wildlife Refuge
Association for passing this news along. For more information about
the National Wildlife Refuge Association and its efforts to promote
the needs of the National Wildlife Refuge System and to protect
America's wildlife, go to www.refugeassociation.org .
In order for us to help make sure refuges receive the funding that
they need, the first step is for us to be informed!

Subject: Clay-colored Saprrows - Falmouth
From: Mary Keleher <maryeak(AT)yahoo.com>
Date: 23 May 2008 1:52pm
On my way to an appointment in Falmouth this morning I
decided to make a quick stop at the Crane Wildlife
Management Area. I was thrilled to hear a CLAY-COLORED
SPARROW singing. I walked towards the area it was
singing and easily found the bird. As I was watching,
listening, and photographing it I could hear another
Clay-colored singing not too far away. Not surprising
since this species was recorded breeding at Otis AFB
last year.

Hello Massbirders,

Today I lead a group of sixth graders down the Ipswich River from the
IRWS canoe landing to Bradley Palmer State Park. Along the way, we
stopped for lunch at "Burn" Island, AKA by some locals as "Grunge"
Island. We had great looks at him, and man, was he singing away. I
borrowed the teacher's camera to get a picture and he said he'd send
them to me in a day or two. The coordinates for the island are:=20

Subject: Blue Grosbeak at Millennium Park--5/23
From: "Marshall J. Iliff" <miliff(AT)aol.com>
Date: 23 May 2008 4:33pm
All,
I briefly heard a Blue Grosbeak calling (not singing) at Millennium Park
this morning at 9:20. It was on the hillside above the canoe launch area. I
had to leave shortly thereafter so only spent about 10 minutes trying to
locate it. Since the habitat is decent enough for a bird to try to defend a
territory, it might be worth keeping an eye out for, although it certainly
was not being conspicuous.
Other birds at Millennium this morning included a Lincoln's Sparrow, a
Bobolink, two Orchard Orioles, 2 Magnolia and 1 Wilson's warblers, and two
Willow Flycatchers (which breed here).
Best,
Marshall

How much fossil fuels were burned (ie miles driven) just by the Lincoln team
for a fundraising effort for a conservation organization?
Just curious. Or don't you keep track of that?

I spent the day again banding at MBO. The nets were pretty dead today, only
30ish birds all day, but the net lanes themselves and the ocean were decent. No
sign of the King Eider, the flock it seemed to be with had vanished, I expect
for good. Highlights today were a Cape May Warbler, a very good bird here, and
another Arctic Tern feeding with all the other small larids offshore.
Still a bunch of lingerers around, and that added to a fairly good number of
migrants makes for some good birding!
Full list below.
Manomet Center for Conservation Sciences (0630-1915):
Common Eider (Atlantic) 11
Surf Scoter 19
Red-breasted Merganser 55
Red-throated Loon 1 - Been here for a full week now. Adult winter bird
hanging in close to the shore. Never observed feeding..
Common Loon 2
Double-crested Cormorant 80
Great Cormorant 4 juvs, still here
Great Blue Heron 1
Black-bellied Plover 3 - This and GRYE (Greater Yellowlegs) first true
shorebird migrants of the season here.
Spotted Sandpiper 5
Greater Yellowlegs 1
Laughing Gull 23
Bonaparte's Gull 29 - Numbers still on the up, all 1-w birds yet to develop
any black hood whatsoever.
Ring-billed Gull 30
Herring Gull (American) 10
Great Black-backed Gull 4
Common Tern 80
Arctic Tern 1ad - Feeding with all the COTEs (Common Terns)
Mourning Dove 4
Ruby-throated Hummingbird 6
Belted Kingfisher 2
Red-bellied Woodpecker 1
Downy Woodpecker 3
Northern Flicker (Yellow-shafted) 5
Eastern Phoebe 4
Great Crested Flycatcher 9
Eastern Kingbird 1
White-eyed Vireo 1 singing - Mimicking a Summer Tanagers call perfectly in
its song. Got me scared for a bit.

Fish Crow 6
Tree Swallow 3
Northern Rough-winged Swallow 3
Bank Swallow 40
Barn Swallow 3
Black-capped Chickadee 8

From: gdentremont(AT)juno.com
Date: 23 May 2008 8:56pm
To be fair, I am not sure there are nests in the trees. Certainly they
use the trees to dry wings and rest and these trees are indeed at the
center and highest point(s) of the island. There are obvious birds
sitting on the bare high ground and those may be the actual nests. I
have not looked at the island with a scope to locate actual nests.
Perhaps some one checking more carefully could comment on the placement
of Sarah Island cormorant nests.

clutches, they finally did have an egg that hatched. I was going to be
visiting down there soon, and was hoping to be able to see the eaglet.
But that unfortunately won't be possible. :( See the latest news:
