Led a bird walk this morning for Coastal Mountains Land Trust at their Beech Hill Preserve in Rockport. Highlights for the group included:

Broad-winged Hawk - 1
Red-tailed Hawk - 2
Alder Flycatcher - 3+ (FOY)
E. Wood-pewee - 1 singing (FOY)
BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER -1 near the Rockville Street trailhead parking lot BLACK-BILLED CUCKOO - 2, right out in the open and vocalizing (that never happens for me!)
Wood Thrush - 1 singing right near the trailhead
Ovenbird - many, noted here only because we got some great close looks at several
Field Sparrow - 1 singing
Eastern Towhee - 6+
Rose-breasted Grosbeak - 1 heartily singing male
Scarlet Tanager - 1 singing male

​Beautiful morning on the trail, not too buggy and birds still singing at 10 a.m.
