Crane Swamp/Cedar Hill, Northborough

Our annual spring Forbush Bird Club trip to Crane Swamp/Cedar Hill was a warm sunny day with four members attending. Highlights of the trip were great views of a singing Blue-winged Warbler. a local nester at Cedar Hill, and great views of a Veery on the path ahead of us. The Indigo Bunting serenaded us from the top of a tree and we caught a glimpse of a singing Wilson's Warbler. It was a beautiful morning to be out birding!
