Plymouth trip

Cape Cod Bay, Plymouth, MA, June 25, 2014

Spent yesterday and part of today down at the coast in Plymouth celebrating our 10th anniversary. Not a birding trip at all but we had a great time and enjoyed sunny, warm weather yesterday and had some great ocean views. Today started out a little rainy and foggy so we headed home. Sadly the recently sighted first state record Fea's Petrel seen on the southwest corner of Stellwagen Bank did not decide to come in close to shore and grace me with a view. If the weather had been better on Thursday morning we would have taken a whale watch boat out but it was not to be. I guess I will have to wait until another time down there or see the Fea's at Quabbin when it gets blown in during a hurricane!

Before leaving yesterday morning I spent a few minutes at Lake Wallace...lots of Wood Duck ducklings of various ages (although they were not very cooperative for photos) and other typical breeding birds including a couple Red tailed Hawks with some downy feathers still left and at least three Green Herons.  Hopefully some other recently fledged herons and egrets of other species will start dispersing and will show up around here.
