Subject: [BostonBirds] 4/27 Rusty Blackbirds and Sora at Brook Farm Reservation
On Saturday, I went to Brook Farm Reservation in West Roxbury in hopes of hearing (I had no hope of seeing) the Sora that Ted B. had posted about on e-bird earlier in the day. When  I arrived at the spot, which is the third bridge, I initially didn't hear anything. So I walked a bit further. There were three adult male Rusty Blackbirds in the wetland on the right. A jogger flushed them to a tree, where i could see their bills move as they sang their awesome songs. The calls created a wonderful ambience as I stood in the swamp, the path being the only dry land. I returned to the Sora spot, and waited at least one half hour, but it was well worth it, for i got to hear twice the awesome whinny by either one or a pair of Sora. This was at 8:15 p.m.

Great Blue Heron 2            Millennium Park and high school wetland
Wood Duck 2                      high school wetland

Subject: [BostonBirds] BBC-BNC Trip Report: Great Day!
Hi everyone,

I want to report on a very successful Brookline Bird Club-Boston Nature
Center joint bird walk covering Millenium Park and the West Roxbury High
School Marsh. I'm also including results of a quickie bike ride by the
marsh on my part after the group walk ended. The walk was attended by about
25 people and was led by Correne George, Sam Harris, Michael McCarthy, and
myself. Special thanks to our trip leaders who did an outstanding job
spotting/hearing hard-to-locate birds and identifying uncommon/rare
species.

We got a lot (!!!) of species. Highlights included Brown Thrasher, 3
Kestrels, Red-Shouldered Hawk, Green Heron, Warbling Vireo, and lots of
Red-Bellied Woodpeckers.

Subject: [BostonBirds] White-eyed Vireo at McLaughlin Woods at 12:40 p.m., Etc.
I birded all of this place, ending at the top level (brushy level). This is where the WHITE-EYED VIREO was located. It was in the heaping pile of brambles on your right. I had heard a call repeated ad nauseam that I had assumed was an agitated titmouse. Once I found the vireo, I then realized it was he who was unendingly making the scolding call.
