Ken Janes found a NORTHERN WHEATEAR today on the east side of the Mousam River. The beach there is accessed at the end of Great Hill Road. A small gap in the shrubs at the end of the road leads to a trail that drops steeply to the beach. The wheatear was to the right, perching on a piece of driftwood. There is very limited public parking along Great Hill Rd before the end. This area is public access but in tight quarters with private residences. Please respect property and the bird, which may not tolerate close approach. Parsons Beach is on opposite shore across the river mouth, and the bird could move there if not where originally found.
