I spent the morning into the early afternoon (5:50am-1:00pm) atlasing three blocks on Prescott Peninsula. Another great day in this section of Quabbin. Lots of juvenile birds around and other just nesting. Finally confirmed Cerulean Warbler in an area they have been for a few years. I found a male carrying food. I lost him high in the trees before I found a nest or a juvenile. I also had an Evening Grosbeak feeding a juvenile. Lots of other activity with some good numbers of birds. Also watched a Cedar Waxwing put the finishing touches on its nest and got some photos of the construction. The totals for the day are below. Another fine day in a wonderful area.
