I stopped the last few mornings along the rail trail in
Amherst before heading to work to see what I might find.Both mornings have been relatively cool which
has kept the mosquitoes to a minimum.Both mornings produced a nice mix of birds with a most every flycatcher
species that breeds around here (except Least Flycatcher) and three species of
wren within a relatively short distance of each other.A total of perhaps just over 50 species in
about a mile or so along the trail with many showing well.No luck catching up with the previously seen
night heron but Green and Great Blue Herons were around.The next few days will feature warming
temperatures and higher humidity which should bring the mosquitoes back out in
force. A very nice summer solstice.
