Hi all--
Recent noteworthies include a pair of yellow-throated vireos seen consecutive days (SUN 5/20 and MON 5/21) at River Point Falmouth, the pair in tall trees betwen the red shed and the manure spreader, not singing.
Interesting mix at Scarborough Ind. Park AM 5/22-land bordering Gervais Farm. In dense thickets going left of the main trail a pod of warblers incl. female Cape May and Wilsons warblers and 4 other common warblers. Same day many many calling black-billed cuckoos but none located. Since they logged the property a few years ago, it has erupted in nice second growth, including cherry shrubs, which sport lots of catarpillar nests; was easy last year to locate this bird here. Also unusual and nice combo of singing alder and willow flycatchers.
Re-located singing mouring warbler early this AM Hinckley Park, well along the "far right trail" as noted by another contributor. Was seen in thickets at a point where the trail bears left at the end of the park at a grassy field full of dandilions.
