Southwick/Suffield WMA

Several birders showed up at the WMA, not having seen the trip cancellation due to rain that was posted to the website rather late.  One birder stayed and here is his report:

“We all tried for the owls near the parking lot without success. Then others left and I birded on my own. The rain had largely abated by that point and there was even a hint of sunshine by the time I was wrapping up. Highlights included great looks at the Blue Grosbeak (on both sides of the border if that matters) and Grasshopper Sparrow. Also, many Field Sparrows, Tree Swallow Juveniles begging for food and being fed, Indigo Buntings and both Orchard and Baltimore Orioles.”
