The SSBC Mill Brook Bogs breeding bird survey was held July 3rd, 2022. Initially scheduled for Saturday, the forecast called for rain and thunderstorms in the morning, and as such it was decided to be shifted. This proved to be the right move, as the gloomy, rainy morning with stiff winds Saturday contrasted with beautiful sunny weather and calm conditions Sunday.

All in all there was a nice turnout with 14 total participants that split into 3 teams to each survey distinct areas in this deceptively large Wildlife Management Area. The three groups surveyed for a combined 16 hours 40 minutes, and traveled 18.64 miles. We found a total of 1508 individuals of 72 species, notable observations have been highlighted in bold.
