Nine adults joined the two leaders for an evening stroll at
Daniel Webster Wildlife Sanctuary in this co-sponsored trip with Mass Audubon South
Shore Sanctuaries.
For some folks this was their first visit to this serene and
wonderful place, others have been enchanted with this Sanctuary for a number of
years. None were “birders”, but all keen observers of wildlife.
Everyone agreed that this
was just an excellent way to spend an evening!
Now to the Wildlife seen
This being the day after “Arthur”, the wind was still strong,
so the few butterflies out were having a hard time. Although no unexpected
birds put in an appearance, we all got wonderful scope looks at Great Blue Herons, Eastern Bluebirds
and Osprey to name but a few. A full list of species is below.
We spotted just a couple of Butterflies; Clouded Sulphur and
Summer Azure, we got great looks at a very cute little Red Squirrel and a
couple of White Tailed Deer (which stayed around for everyone to get a look
through the scope). We smelled Milkweed flowers and admired the female Bobolinks perched on the pretty
blue - but European -Bird Vetch.
