A good crowd of birders (~15) gathered at the Station Road entrance to the Norwottuck Rail Trail in Amherst to enjoy the birds of evening. They were rewarded with a Black-billed Cuckoo, a Virginia Rail seen well walking back and forth in the marsh in an exposed area, Bobolinks out in the field, a Grackle sitting on her nest very close to the path, two Woodcock, two Swamp Sparrows, two Orchard Orioles, any many other birds to delight.
