This morning I had a quick spin around a few sites in Northfield on the west side of the Connecticut River. It was warm and muggy with winds in the southern quarter. Generally, it was rather quiet but highlighted by calling
Dickcissel that flew low to the east over Caldwell Road fields. Later I wrestled with an interesting calling 'warbler' that turned out to be a
Northern Waterthrush and not the hoped-for Connecticut Warbler!
Northern Waterthrush - Caldwell Road, Northfield, Franklin Co., MA. September 5th, 2017.
Black-throated Green Warbler - Satan's Kingdom, Northfield, Franklin Co., MA. September 5th, 2017.
Red-eyed Vireo - Satan's Kingdom, Northfield, Franklin Co., MA. September 5th, 2017.
Satan's Kingdom had two
Least Sandpipers and an active feeding flock of passerines that contained numerous
Black-throated Green Warblers,
Eastern Phoebes and
Red-eyed Vireos and a calling
Eastern Wood-Pewee.
