Today Charlie Nims and I took a South Shore Bird Club group to Brownfield Bog, and we were richly rewarded with birds in their nesting activities. There were 8 species observed sitting on their nests, including yellow-billed cuckoo, red-eyed vireo (2), yellow warbler, black and white warbler, eastern kingbird, cedar waxwing, eastern phoebe and yellow-bellied sapsucker. We also had black-billed cuckoo carrying food, a male scarlet tanager feeding young, and two juvenile pied billed grebes paddling along looking for mom.
Other "normal' bird sightings included a mourning warbler, a yellow-throated vireo, wilson's snipe, ruffed grouse, virginia rail, and flycatchers - willow, alder, least, great-crested, kingbird, phoebe, and pewee.
Photos will be included with eBird reports tomorrow.
