Sorry for the delay on this report for Mascoma Audubon’s trip to Bedell Bridge State Park in Haverhill on Saturday morning. George Clark and I led 17 birders around this site where we encountered most of the species we typically get here, plus a few surprises. Blackpoll Warblers were the notable migrants present and we had great looks at several. Some of us also got a glimpse at two Northern Harriers as they flew towards the south from the area. An immature Bald Eagle perched obligingly, twice, and we had good scope views. We had a great opportunity to scrutinize and study vocalizations of Willow and Alder Flycatchers as they called almost simultaneously at one point. We also heard a Yellow-throated Vireo, but could not find it. An American Bittern flew over and gave most of us a quick look. I believe we broke fifty species among us, the eBird list can be observed here:https://ebird.org/view/checklist/S46037649. Thanks to George Clark and also Adam Burnett for his keen ears and knowledge.
