The winds last night continued out of the south slightly and
with on and off thunderstorms and showers.
I hoped that something (terns or shorebirds) tried to move through but
then got caught in bad weather and set down.
With this in mind I checked Winsor Dam at dawn but nothing unusual
there. I then headed toward Northampton
with brief stops along the rail trail and a few fields in Hadley. Again nothing unusual was found. Perhaps someone did find something of note
today but that someone was not me this morning.
The evening featured a nice Common Nighthawk show with at least 21 over the house late in the evening. I also had a Barred Owl hooting and a Virginia Rail sounding off at home. I had thoughts of trying to conduct the Quabbin Park area Whip-poor-will survey this evening but the weather made that impossible to do. Perhaps this weekend or early next week?
