Led by Laura Lane filling in for John Shea. Four club members attended on a gray damp morning. The birds started singing and appearing in the treetops. Many were first of year sightings for the birders. We ended the morning by locating the Red-shouldered Hawk nest with the hawk on it! Warbler season has arrived!

Annual Earth Day Forbush Bird Club trip led by Mike Bellows to sites in Shrewsbury, MA. There were 3 observers on this beautiful sunny morning. The highlight of the trip was the Coopers Hawk which swooped in and landed in a tree in front of us at the Shrewsbury Senior Center.
Five of us met at the parking area between 7:00 and 7:30. There was a large flock of Red-winged Blackbirds, but little else of interest on the water, so we started walking at about 7:30. The sky was initially cloudy, with a light wind. After about an hour the sun came out and we had full sun or partial sun for the rest of the morning. We ended up identifying 44 species.
