Folks,
With all the flap about Monk Parakeets, I figure I had better squawk too.
On 1 June 2008, while atlasing Lynn 3 quadrangle in Revere, behind
Wonderland dog park, I heard loud squawking in a tree overhead. I had no
idea what was up, but moments later a pair of Mourning Dove-sized green
birds with bluish wing-tips flew out and away from me toward East Boston.
I have since then been back to the neighborhood and walked and driven around
in the hope of running into these birds again-to no avail.
But given the number of recent sightings in Eastie (and downtown Boston), I
have to put my conjecture out there: There is small colony of these birds
(maybe a tiny colony; maybe only 2) breeding somewhere around here. There
may even be several small colonies or pairs, scattered around the city. If
you see any parrots flying around Boston, even if you can't identify them to
species, make sure you report them on massbird. With a lot of eyes out
there, maybe we can nail these birds for the BBA.

A pair of Monk Parakeets were in East Boston this afternoon, last at 3:10 on
a light pole near the corner of Brooks and Bremen, near the East Boston Y
where George Cumming reported a single one a couple of days ago and not far
from Jeffrey's Point where a pair had been reported to Marj Rines a couple
of weeks ago. If they're escapees so far they've acclimated well to life on
the lam as they seem healthy and robust - I could hear them screeching from
the other end of Bremen St Park, a few hundred feet away.

Subject: Orange-crowned Warblers and whether to expect
them
From: Barbara Volkle and Steve Moore <barb620(AT)theworld.com>
Date: 5 Dec 2009 8:33am
A poster recently asked whether Orange-crowned Warblers should still
be hanging around.
So, I got out my field cards. For those of you who are relatively
new birders, MA Audubon has published field cards, which give the
abundance and seasonal occurrence of the birds of Massachusetts. The
newer card gives the data in a bar chart. The older one lists
presence by codes the list month and week, and leaves off abundance
data. The are both under two dollars each.
For Orange-crowned Warbler, the older card lists 12C (third week of
December) with scattered reports throughout the year. The newer card
show infrequent through December and rare through January.
So, if you don't have a field card, get one or more! For beginning
birders, it helps sort out the common from the rare, and helps sort
out what is around when. They are a quick, handy for your field
guide, desk, or wherever you go birding.

Tom Wetmore called the store at 10:30 to report that Nancy Landry spotted, and
that they were both looking at a Snowy Owl. The bird is being observed from the
Warden's Station looking west across Plum Island Sound. It is perched on top of

Subject: Northern Gannets off Lot 1, Parker River Refuge.
From: Chris Sheridan <cmsbirds(AT)comcast.net>
Date: 5 Dec 2009 11:25am
The weather was wonderful yesterday, the tides extraordinary, the refuge
beautiful and very, very quiet. thanks to Paul Roberts for pointing out the
Bald Eagle, which had just flown past me over the marsh while I was fixated on
watching a fishing Great Blue Heron!
My most memorable sighting was at sunset as I was leaving, when I stopped to
look out at Lot 1. The ocean and sky spread out in ever modulating soft
lavenders, blues and pinks. Two Red-throated Loons had found a nice fishing spot
just past the low breaking waves--maybe 30-40 feet from the shore, and as I
walked over to watch them, they were joined by a few Herring and Great
Black-Backed Gulls.
Within a few moments, a couple of juvenile Northern Gannets flew in from the
north. Each did a low plunge dive right off the beach. One of the Gannets
continued down the beach, but the other joined the group of Loons and Gulls. It
remained for some time, surface diving.
I had never seen this before--the bird would launch itself up just above the
water and propel itself under. Compared with their graceful plunge diving, it
was a a clumsy effort with considerable thrashing and splashing. It seemed to
take much effort by its powerful wings and feet to counteract its natural
buoyancy. Clumsy but effective--most of its dives were rewarded with success.
I anticipated seeing MY photos of the big bird diving with the loons against the
sunset colored ocean. They came out muddy mess--I had decided to experiment
with some "in-camera" settings. Not a great success, but...
A visit to the refuge is always rewarding!

Subject: Tufted Duck: East Providence/Turner Reservoir
12/5
From: "Mark Lynch" <moa.lynch(AT)verizon.net>
Date: 5 Dec 2009 12:50pm
The drake TUFTED DUCK was seen this AM among the 82 Greater Scaup at the
East Providence, James Turner Reservoir, south of the Rt. 152 causeway.
Here's the thing: look at a map of the area and you will note the large bay
on the NE section is in fact IN Massachusetts. The bird and scaup wandered
and flew in both the RI and MA sections of the reservoir and actually
straddled the line for awhile and we left them in the MA section. The best
views were ARCADE AVE, about a 1/4 mile south of it's intersection w/Rt.
152, on the Seekonk MA side. Pull well off the road (room for 2 cars (maybe)
across from gate with small gargoyles) as there is lots of speeding traffic.
I know this is really minutae about which state it is in technically, but I
also know some birders keep state lists .We were able to note the bird in
two states. Be sure to bring a map with you so you know where the bird is,
if you acre about such stuff.
BTW: the birds were further north than originally described. A far easier
way to check the south end of this productive reservoir is to take NEWMAN
AVE south of RT. 152 on the EAST PROVIDENCE SIDE of the reservoir and then
take a left on Miller Avenue. When Miller bends 90 degress to the right,
park and walk through the obvious gate right up to dam. You are at the south
end of the reservoir in less than a minute.
Sheila will pot some shots of the Tufted on her blog.

Massbirders,
It is with tail firmly between my legs that I report that I re-found the
flock of blackbirds yesterday (4 Dec 09) that I reported as rusties on
Wednesday. This time I came armed with Occam's razor, and traded
rose-colored glasses for proper optics, and I was able to clearly see
that my rusties were in fact (and unremarkably) grackles. Many
apologies for raised hopes.
