I had a long walk up & down Salt Road this morning. As was to be expected at this time of year, it was rather quiet bird-wise. Along with the usual chickadees, nuthatches, and Common Yellowthroats I did have a few unexpected and pleasant surprises. Not the goshawk I had hoped for, but a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK called once (one series of 5 notes) from off to the east. The greatest activity was at the intersection of Salt & Hoag with a feeding flock that included four BLACKBURNIAN WARBLERS and a young Rose-breasted Grosbeak. A Great Crested Flycatcher called persistently from the direction of Dresser Road. The other singing birds of note were Eastern Wood-Pewee, Brown Creeper, and a Red-eyed Vireo.
