A combined Brookline, South Shore, Cape Cod bird club(s) leader's choice trip went to Westport today. This was the day of Cave Swallow (finally-state bird for me). We either had 7, 8, or 14 (see explaination below). Windy conditions made land birding slow. Had 11 White-winged Crossbills. Not much more for highlights.
