Hayfield and barn along Chapel Street A few confirmed species added to the Breeding Bird Atlas were nest building Amercian Robin and Tree Swallows and there were Rock Pigeons nesting inside an old barn. I didn't make it down to a marshy beaver pond to confirm the nesting Great Blue Herons, in past years there has been between 6 and 17 active nests. There were several probable breeders (within the designated "safe dates" such as Downy and Pileated Woodpeckers, Eastern Phoebe, Cardinal, American Crows and a noisey pair of Common Ravens (possible breeders).
Bobolink While there was nothing terribly unusual I had a nice look at a few Northern Parulas, White-crowned Sparrow and heard my first Black-billed Cuckoo of the year. A Scarlet Tanager showed nicely, down low, in one of the road-side trees, but wasn't quite as cooperative as the Rose-breasted Grosbeak "digi-binned" below.
