Common Nighthawk, Quabbin Gate 11, 2011
I took a morning trip up to the central part of Quabbin and had a good few hours of birding. The morning started with at least a dozen Common Nighthawks feeding along the entrance of gate 11. They were quite difficult to photograph as they swept by just over the tops of the trees. I then made it into central Quabbin and migration was in evidence today as I ran across several mixed species flocks with the highlight being a male Wilson's Warbler. Breeding was still in evidence also as I had a turkey with several robin sized young and a few vireos and warblers still begging food from parents. A very nice morning all around. |
