Checklist Comments:    BBC-Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary, Topsfield-Leader: Bruce Bolnick-Morning damp but dry, temperature around 60, light wind.  Birds were very happy with the weather; we were accompanied by a constant chorus of bird song. Highlights included a Glossy Ibis flyover, a Downy poking its head out of a hole in a dead branch, a Kingfisher, a Pileated Woodpecker, and clear view of Baltimore Oriole, and visual confirmation of Yellow-throated Vireo — among other treats.
