Orioles and warblers

May 1, 7:00- 10:00 (with an hour out in the middle along the Charles River Walk across Kendrick St).

40 species, spring is definitely here. The highlight was a male Orchard Oriole, pausing briefly in a tree in the lower garden.
The Hermit Thrush was along Florie's Walk. Many Savannah Sparrows along the golf course side of the lower garden, and further along the 'meadow.' Lots of Ruby-crowned Kinglets in song. The Black-and-White Warbler and Northern Parula were up near the JCC.

At least 16 of these species were observed in Angino Farms's proposed "Area 1."
