Central Quabbin

Yellow rumped Warbler

I spent the entire day with Tom Gagnon scouting the area of next weekends Hampshire Bird Club trip. We started at 6:30 and ended 3:15. Beyond the bird list below we saw four Coyotes, two River Otter and three Beavers. No Moose but lots of tracks. Here is the list from the day. Some good stuff but it was tough after the first couple hours due to wind. Hopefully this weekend will be calmer.
