[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: Migration research project From: "rstymeist(AT)juno.com" <rstymeist@juno.com> Date: 14 Mar 2008 8:40am Massbirders: Posting this with the moderator's permission. Can you help? OBSERVATIONS NEEDED FOR CONCORD AND SURROUNDING TOWNS Researchers at Boston University are studying the effects of climate change on spring arrival times of songbirds to the Concord area. For past years, we are using the journals of Thoreau, Brewster and Griscom. Now, we are in need of records of arrival times for any years since 1960. If you have records (or know any else who has such records) of the arrival times of songbirds to Concord, Acton, Carlisle, Bedford, Lincoln,Wayland, Sudbury and/or Maynard for any recent span of years please contact us. See: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/walden.html for similar work done in our lab. Thank you!

[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: Coopers Hawk courtship From: James MacDougall <jm3(AT)mac.com> Date: 14 Mar 2008 1:32pm This afternoon at 1:30 and in our yard, I had a pair of Coopers Hawks in courtship. One bird was doing courtship flights, undulating flight path, extended legs and diving, over the perch tree of the other while they both made various calls and clucks.

[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: 3/14 Duxbury Ponds From: Rick Bowes <rbowes(AT)bowesweb.com> Date: 14 Mar 2008 1:24pm 3/14 Today I took a run by several ponds in Duxbury looking for visiting waterfowl, and while no unusual species appeared there were nice numbers and, given the proximity of the birds and calm settings, I could really appreciate these visitors in full breeding plumage. It's a great outing when you can get killer close-up looks at stunning Wood ducks, Hooded Mergansers, Common Mergansers, Ring-necks, Buffleheads, Gadwall and even the truly wild Mallards whose fitness, alertness and crisp colors put the feral birds we see to shame! What stunning creatures! The highlight for me was a flock of 17 Common Mergansers (9m8f) stretched out in a line across what Google maps calls South River Reservoir at a distance of about 150 yards. I don't often see these birds in town (usually only in the spring), and I forget how beautiful they are - and how clearly different the giss is between the Common and Red-breasted females. Locations (Check them out on Google maps- satellite view for directions): (A) Rt 14. (Exit) going west just past junction w/Rt 3. There are vantage points up to where a road goes off at left (King Phillip's Path) where you can see into parts of these ponds. There are no proper pulloffs so be careful and get as far off the road as you can. (B) Small pond on east side of Rt 53 just north of Winter St. (C) Bog on east end of Mayflower St. Mayflower street was divided many years ago when Rt3 was created. This little bog is on the segment that is on west side of Rt3 - reachable from Chandler St. The bog itself is on the south side of Mayflower St at it's east end. (Google satellite shows it nicely) (D) East Street Bogs and pond. These bogs lead to a large unnamed pond that parallels Route 3 and provide nice walking. (E) Island Creek Pond (F) Cherry St. puddle.... Just west of Island Creek Pond is a little road, Cherry Street, that becomes dirt and leads to a couple of small bogs and a tiny swampy pond (a/k/a puddle) on the left that occasionally has an odd migrant but typically just a nesting pair or two of mallards, blacks and/or Canada Goose. Over the years I have seen there, however, Pintail, Am. Wigeon, Gadwall, Ruddy, Green-w Teal and Bufflehead and Hooded Mergs. There are other ponds in town but these were all I had time to visit in 90 minutes. Species: (A) Mute Swan (3), Wood Duck (1), Gadwall (pr), Black Duck (5), Mallard (9), Ring-necks (9), Common Merganser (23) (B) Bufflehead (pr), Hooded Merganser (pr) (C) Mallard (22) scattered throughout bog - usually just 2-4 pairs (D) Mute Swan (3), Wood Duck (9), Gadwall (2), Ring-necks (93) and Mallards were everywhere in the bogs. (E) Mallard (pr), Ring-necks (6), Bufflehead (23), Hooded Merganser (9) (F) Mallard (pr) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rick Bowes rbowes(AT)bowesweb.com PO Box 1637, Duxbury, MA 02331
[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: White-fronted Goose in Northbridge MA 3/14 From: "Mark Lynch" <moa.lynch(AT)verizon.net> Date: 14 Mar 2008 2:58pm While out doing some Atlas II scouting, we found a GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE (Greenland race) in LINWOOD POND, Northbridge among a flock of about 70 Canadas. Linwood Pond is on Linwood Avenue between Rt. 122 and "downtown" Northbridge. This is part of the Blackstone National Corridor. It is screened by a thin line of trees, but you can pull off alongside the road, park, cut through the trees and walk along a nice path there. Sheila took some photos which I will post later on Rick Quimby's website. Mark Lynch/Sheila Carroll moa.lynch(AT)verizon.net No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: Eagle, Lincoln From: Jason Forbes <jason(AT)brewsterslinnet.com> Date: 14 Mar 2008 6:10pm I just got a call from a family friend that he had been seeing a Bald Eagle for most of the day on the Cambridge Reservoir, just north of Trapelo Rd. I took a quick ride over and found it perched in a tree on the far side, a hundred yards or so down Old County Rd. There's not really anywhere to pull over and look (especially in rush hour), but I was able to stop for a few seconds. Looked like a subadult IV (white head and tail with some streaking on the head). A very nice end to the week. Jason -- Jason Forbes Waltham, MA jason(AT)brewsterslinnet.com www.brewsterslinnet.com

[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: Concord: Nine Acre Corner and Great Meadow From: Bruce Larson <bruce.r.larson(AT)verizon.net> Date: 14 Mar 2008 8:40pm I stopped at Nine Acre Corner for a few minutes mid-afternoon. There were 96 ring-necked ducks, many Canada geese and mallards, two pairs of American Wigeon, more than a dozen green-winged teal, a pair of northern pintail, 3 kildeer(!), and a great blue heron At Great Meadow between 6pm and 6:45pm, there were 9 hooded merganser, a pair of common merganser, 2 wood duck drakes, 6 bufflehead, many common goldeneye (with drakes displaying), many ring-necked ducks, 1 lesser scaup drake, 2 coots(!), plus many Canada geese and mallards. This was the first lesser scaup that I've seen all season, and these are the first coots I've seen in Massachusetts this year. Cheers, Bruce Larson Milton, MA bruce.r.larson(AT)verizon.net
[ << | >> | ^^ ] Subject: Readville Redpolls From: "Samuel Jaffe" <spjaffe(AT)gmail.com> Date: 14 Mar 2008 8:08pm Hi all, I wanted to give a last shout out about the Readville Redpoll flock that has been visiting my feeder daily for a few months now. The flock is reduced in size and diversity (about 40 birds, one rostrata, no recent hoaries), but it does still visit daily and relatively often - especially in the morning. With mounting grackle and redwing flocks in the area it seems like only a matter of time before they bid me farewell and this unforgettable bird winter comes to a close. For anyone who missed redpolls this year, or who just wants to see some closer to home, you are welcome to come and see the birds. They should be easily viewable from the park across from my apartment at 28 Clifford st. Readville (boston) MA. Good birding, -Sam Sam Jaffe Readville MA spjaffe(AT)gmail.com
