Nasketucket Bird Club Walk
Mike LaBossiere, Kay Langevin, and me
Pictures are here
The trip started this morning at 7:30 a.m. and our first stop was at Head of the Bay in Bourne and several Common Snipe were seen. We then made our way to the Railroad Bridge and then Scusett Beach. At the Fish Pier we were delighted to see approx. 8 Blue Birds at fairly close range. We then proceeded to the Parking area and found a large flock of Horned Larks. The canal was fairly quiet but we did get Purple Sandpiper, Common Eider, Great Cormorant, Common Loon, Surf Scoter, a dead White-winged Scoter, GREAT looks a Northern Harrier male, and an Accipiter species, likely Sharp shinned. We also had a visit by a rather large Grey Seal. Leaving Scusett we had a large 50+ flock of American Tree Sparrows. A quick look at the Herring Pond yielded Common Mergansers and Ringed Neck Ducks and a possible Red- throated Loon. Rounding out the day at the conservation area in Wareham we found a Pied- billed Grebe, Hooded Mergansers and American Wigeon.

January 19
Went at lunch time to Long Road. Saw a lot of healthy colorful House Finches, a flock of Tree Sparrows, and some Robins and Starlings arguing over a berry tree. Also saw a Red-tailed Hawk. Mallards were hiding in a huge puddle in the woods. Flickers and Downies.

January 15 - MLK
drizzly, 40s
Bike path from Stop and Shop to Weeden Road.
TONS of birds, the usual ones.
After lunch went to Long Road -- again, tons of birds, mostly Tree Sparrow, goldies, Downies, Flickers and some Creepers. Lots of Carolina Wrens. All making lots of noise. Had a great time till my boot got stuck in the mud and I fell on my face. No damage.
