Conservation Land, Weston, MA; 20 May 2020

Today was a very nice day for birding. It was sunny, very little to no wind, and was slightly chilly (40’s to 50’s degrees Fahrenheit). There were a lot of birds (and a good number of chipmunks) active this morning. I was in Cat Rock Park in Weston, MA from about 6:30am to around 11:40am. There was nobody else there the whole time I was in the park. The species I found the most of was the Chipping Sparrow (if they weren’t chipmunks). I’m fairly certain that at least most of the Chipping Sparrows I heard in my audio recordings were actually Chipping Sparrows, and not chipmunks. I spent most of my time in the wooded areas of the park, as well as some time on the edges of those forested areas. I heard the calls of a Hairy (I’m pretty sure it was Hairy) Woodpecker, which I had never heard before. Also, I heard the “meow” calls of a Gray Catbird while I was still in a wooded area, and not yet to the fielded area, which I was somewhat confused about. But overall, it was a good day and I enjoyed it.
