Another absurdly cold start to the day (-8 F/-22 C at dawn), but plenty of birds in song in Gill including
Northern Cardinal,
Tufted Titmouse and
Eastern Bluebird.......and in our yard at around 08:15am, a singing male
Purple Finch. A little later I looked at Turner's Falls airfield where a
Hermit Thrush was a bit of surprise at the eastern end of the perimeter fence. Apart from a single fly-over
Horned Lark the airfield itself was virtually birdless. Downtown Turner's Falls was rather better with a nice group of
Cedar Waxwings feeding from the trees along 3rd Street just outside the Rendezvous Cafe. A few
American Robins were present too.
