Birding at boxerwood

January 05, 2015 « Prev • Next »

After two days of postponement, six Bird Club members enjoyed a sunny but chilly morning at Boxerwood today. While things started out pretty quiet, the end tally of 23 species was pretty respectable. Highlight of the morning was a Hermit Thrush who would rather be heard than seen, although ultimately we all got good looks at him. Also an adult Red-Tailed Hawk took to flight which resulted in flushing out a flock of Robins for the day.
