May 16, 2007

Long Road (Fairhaven) -- heard an unfamiliar call and then saw a dull unfamiliar bird with slight streaking on each side of breast. Trudged back for my book and when I returned, saw a strange large chickadee chasing the first bird. Turned out to be a pair of Blackpoll Warblers.
A Green Heron was very obliging posing for me. See his photos.
The usual crowd was there: Crows, Titmice, real Chickadees, Yellow Warblers, nesting B. Orioles and RW Blackbirds. Broken Robin's egg at nice new nest. Pair of Canada Geese, lots of Catbirds. N. Parula. Lots of sounds I couldn't id.
[Note: recorded a bird in the marsh and later identified it as Black-billed Cuckoo]
