A quick note regarding the (6/11/14) Whip-poor-will walk. A real surprise were two flyover EVENING GROSBEAKs alerting us to their presence by their call; the lead bird obviously an adult male and the second bird either a female or young. The late afternoon/early evening light lit up the male as they flew by at maybe 500 feet heading SSE.
YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO 1-this bird was calling when we arrived and after walking the fields the bird was calling again. We were able to call it out for a brief view. Uncommon in the barrens.

Fish Crow 1-the crow of choice in the barrens
Brown Thrasher 1

EVENING GROSBEAK 2

The South Shore Bird Club (SSBC) was founded in 1946 and the first members set out to explore the birds and birding habitats of the South Shore of Massachusetts. We concentrate on field trips for both members and non members. Most trips involve car-pooling with occasional canoe trips or beach hikes. Non-members are always welcome.
