Field Ornithology 2021 - Day Four

Today's date is Thursday May 27, 2021. My birding session at Allen's Pond Wildlife Sanctuary in Westport, MA began around 7:40 am and lasted until about 11:15 am. In terms of the weather, the temperature was about 65˚- 75˚ and there was slight wind, especially by the water. It had rained during my drive to the site, so it was a little wet at first, but quickly dried as the sun came out. This had to have been my favorite habitat of the week so far. There were grassy areas where I was able to observe some Bobolinks singing very loud, and there was also shrubbery for species like the Gray Catbird and various warblers. My favorite part had to be the wetland area and the beach portion of the wildlife refuge, however. I got to watch an Osprey sit by her nest as I tried to make out if the nest was full with my binoculars, and there were horseshoe crabs walking around in the water below me. I also saw three rabbits as I walked through the refuge, so it was a wildlife-filled day! I would definitely like to return to this spot, as the habitat was very diverse and offered a wide variety of species.
