MA Birds

We took a three day family trip down to Merrimac, MA where I got to do a little more southern birding.  Unfortunately, most of the migrants have not yet arrived but it was great to see and hear birds, like Northern   and Red-bellied Woodpeckers, that we don’t often see in Washington County, Vermont.   I went to Salisbury State Park with the dog one morning and hit the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge for a few hours the next morning.  Here are a few photos from my outings:

Chipping Sparrows were everywhere and singing steadily. (They just arrived in Vermont)

There were nearly 100 Brant on the rocks in the Merrimack River.
