May 13, 2007

Long Road -- Lots of courting Catbirds. Yellow Warbler adding to a nest (but too early to add to Breeding Bird Atlas). Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Heard several Blue-winged Warblers. Lots of battling Common Yellow-throats. Lots of Wood Thrush.

Winsegansett -- Flocks of Least Sandpiper, Terns I couldn't i.d., Black-bellied and Semipalmated Plovers, small group of Brant. Two pairs of Oystercatchers who were oddly silent....may have eggs around there. A Willet who was NOT silent. Ruddy Turnstones and Dunlin in breeding finery. Ospreys on platform nest. Heard a Killdeer near the road.
