Friday- Good Birding Spot

Friday, May 28ths Birding trip occurred at Stonybrook Wildlife Sanctuary in Norfolk Ma. I arrived at 6:30am when it was 52 degrees and cloudy. I started in an open grassy field where I saw a bunch or tree swallows. I saw one peaking its head out of a bird box that had been built in the meadow. Still in the meadow but closer to the information building where there was a picnic area and a kids area, I saw the Eastern Bluebirds and Cedar Waxwings. This is also where I heard most of the generalist species. Once I got past the meadow, any trail I took was adjacent to the reservoir. I followed a Gray Catbird for a while and watched it dive into some marshy weeds and come back up with something in its beak, that I couldn't quite see. In the middle of reservoir, a bunch of wood duck nesting boxes had been built. I was able to see a couple of ducks sitting on top of one of the boxes. There was also a pair of nesting Mute Swans, the entire time I was at Stonybrook I saw them leave their spot once and they didn't go far. The more forested areas were mostly coniferous. This is where I heard the White-breasted Nuthatch
