BBC/SSBC trip

A fun day for 19 birders beginning in Orleans at Putnam Conservation Area (the community gardens there) and ending at Forest Beach in Chatham. We had great weather, but not a flight day. We expected more diversity with warblers and shorebirds. The tide was opposite of what would have been optimal. I tallied 80 species and I am aware of another 7 which other participants encountered. 100, the target, was within possibility missing species like Blackpoll Warbler and Semipalmated and Least Sandpipers. Forest Beach had an earlier report from the day of Whimbrel & Marbled Godwit.

Highlights were Cory’s and Great Shearwaters, Gannet, 2 Sharp-shinned, 5 Cooper’s Hawks, 4 Oystercatchers, “Western” Willet(s) including one with a transmitter, feeding frenzy of 200 Laughing Gulls, Screech Owl at the Beech Forest, Sapsucker at WBWS, a flock of 90 Fish Crow at Lieutenant’s Island causeway, 5 Horned Lark, 14 American Pipit, a latish Yellow Warbler, Pine Warbler at WBWS, 5 “western” Palm Warbler, couple of flyover Bobolinks, Scarlet Tanager in Wellfleet, 2 Dickcissel, couple of Purple Finch.
