Covey WMA

Northern Bobwhite, Covey WMA

I made a short trip out yesterday to get some time outside on a beautiful late summer day. I walked a short distance around the Covey WMA in Belchertown. Some nice stuff around including two Red-shouldered Hawks with a Broad-winged Hawk, several Boblinks, a couple Northern Bobwhites, and others. The list for the day is below.
