Tuesday- Grassland and Shrubland Birds

My birding trip started today at 7:00am at Moose Hill Farm in Sharon MA. It was a sunny day, no clouds in sight and it was 50 degrees Fahrenheit at the start, rising to 75 by the time I left. Immediately next to the parking lot is a small field with a couple of birdhouses and a few big trees. I spent at least the first half hour of my day in this field. I saw so many species flying in and out of the trees and darting across the field. I saw most of the swallows and the less specialized species like the American Robin in this area as well as a few Baltimore Orioles. Moving on there were a few fields where I saw the Red-winged Blackbird, and a few more Baltimore Orioles. I could also hear a lot of songs in this area. A little further on there was a powerline corridor. This was where I heard most species of Sparrow that I identified. At the end of the day, I was walking through a wooded path and stumbled upon a rafter of Wild Turkeys in the middle of the trail. I ended the day back in the small meadow by the parking lot. I just sat and listened to the birds for about ten minutes to see if I could find anything I might have missed
