Brookline Bird Club – America’s most active bird club!

McLaughlin Woods, Suffolk, Massachusetts, US

May 19, 2026 6:23 AM – 8:04 AM

Protocol: Traveling

0.455 mile(s)

Checklist Comments:    BBC walk.  Started off slowly, as we couldn’t find several things I’d heard early in the am.  But then things picked up a lot!  Great looks at a silent empid at the top field, Willow/Alder type, I think Alder but couldn’t be sure.  Also several warblers including BT Blue.  Later, along the main path we had great looks at two different Bay-breasteds and finished with a Canada (found by a birder who had gotten there late) which gave extended looks.  Thanks to all participants!
