Five participants joined me for a combined BBC/SSBC walk on Saturday 6/8. Despite the day starting out drizzly and very wet conditions, the sun came out and the birds started singing. We covered the Yellow Hill and Blossom Rds and trails, Innovation Way, sandpit on Copicut and Payne/Hathaway Rds in Freetown State Forest. Highlights were Black Vulture, Common Raven, Hooded Warbler, Acadian Flycatcher and nesting colony of Bank Swallows. We also visited a private home who have a great setup of many hummingbird feeders. We ended the day by zipping down to Allens Pond for the
Black-necked Stilt.
