I spent another morning exploring a variety of marshes in search of
some unusual herons or egrets. No luck once again in finding unusual herons but
did have some great looks at both Green and Great Blue Herons plus lots of other
expected species. I made a brief stop at Winsor Dam before heading over to Lake
Wallace where I had around fifty species including at least one each of Sora and
Virginia Rail. I then headed over for a walk along the rail trail in Amherst
from Station Road up to Hop Brook and back. Thankfully the mosquitoes were not as bad I
expected them to be. Some great looks at various bird species along the rail
trail plus a family of deer walking along the railroad tracks. I then headed
back east and picked up the Wilson for a walk along the land trust trail and
then brief stops at the Route 9 marsh and again at Winsor Dam. A very nice
morning to be out despite not finding anything too unusual.
