The highlight of a meandering bushwhack to Bashon Brook wetlands and
environs in Hartland this morning was a stridently calling Yellow-billed
Cuckoo at the edge of a regenerating logged area, <100 yards from a
singing Yellow-throated Vireo (in the exact spot where I had a bird last
June). The wetlands themselves were quiet - no bitterns or rails heard -
though 2 winnowing snipe were overhead. This is a great area, but it is
private property, much of which is posted, so I recommend discretion for
anyone deciding to visit it.
The Orchard Oriole pair is still at Skyline Nursery off Ferry Road in
Weathersfield-Bow. The male is a yearling, and he sang actively while I
was there, in close company with the female for 2-3 minutes.
