Checklist Comments:    Brookline Bird Club Walk – Upton State Forest – Leader Nick Paulson. 5 participants. Cool and windy morning. Several quiet sections. Some common species absent. But enjoyable walk with notable amazing close up views of a B&W Warbler that dropped a caterpillar and preceded to search the ground in front of us for it. Only to find it landed on the gate not the ground, it eventually got it of the top of the gate and ate it before wandering off.
