The middle of June has now arrived and I will post a quick update. I have been able to get out just a bit over the last several days due to work and wanting to be home with Wilson as he recovers from surgery that he had done on the 8th meaning I'm only out for a few hours around dawn. He is slowly recovering but it is tough to keep an active boy like him down and he just wants to be active again (more on his recovery below). As far as birds go, nesting season is underway and I have found some nests I have been watching including an American Redstart nest I have been watching since mid May that fledged young today. There have also been a few unusual species around including yet another Purple Martin that arrived at the nesting gourds in Hadley and male Blue winged Teal I found today at the same location. There were also at least two Soras present in Hadley again this morning. I also made an early morning trip down into Hampden County a few days ago to see the breeding Hooded Warblers there. During my time at home I also made a brief post concerning Mourning Warblers this spring in the area.
Now to Wilson. He had surgery on the 8th and he has been recovering as well as expected. It is tough on all of us (especially Wilson) keeping his activity limited as the surgery site heals. He does not like being limited in activity and I know he is itching to get out on walks again. We are still a couple weeks away from even short (ten minute) walks but he wants to start now. We have tried to keep him as comfortable as possible and have someone with him as much as possible so he doesn't have to wear a cone much.
