Wompatuck State Park - Higham 5/16/2013

On Thursday, May 16th, 19 birders participated in the South Shore Bird Club Thursday morning Wompatuck migration romp. The weather was great for us: sunny and 56 F. when we started, a very nice change from the previous weeks cold and damp day. We saw and\or heard 48 species including 12 warbler species and 5 raptors. Although we did not see nor hear an owl, we did have Turkey Vulture, Osprey and Red-tailed, Red-shouldered and Broad-winged Hawk. Among the warbler species were: Blue-winged, Magnolia and Blackburnian as well as lots of American Redstarts, Ovenbirds and Black-and-white. We were unsuccessful in trying to find Worm-eating Warbler.
