Mourning Doves, Mill Valley Rd, Hadley, MA, Dec 17, 2014 |
I
took a few hours off today and managed to get a little bit of birding in. I searched once again for the Black headed
Gull seen over the weekend but no luck.
I covered the areas from Mill Valley Road north through Hadley and
Amherst. The bird is likely long gone
but you never know if it might show up again so worth keeping an eye out for
it. The most active area was once again the fields on the Hadley/Amherst line on Russelville Road (the same area where another Black headed Gull was found in spring a few years ago). Notables there included nearly 1100 Canada Geese (the individual with the extensive white neck was still in the flock), a Great Blue Heron, 195 Ring billed Gulls, 280 American Crows and 165 Horned Larks. The best sighting on Mill valley Road was at least 210 Mourning Doves hanging out on the new solar array.
