I finally got a good look at a northern waterthrush as one of my square point count stops this morning. Of interest in Upper Northfield was a grey catbird, immitating a bobolink and also a rose-breasted grosbeak. I didn't know what was going on or what bird was vocalizing for a moment. I was totally befundled for a short time until I saw the singer. I saw my first snapping turtles making out today. I didn't know what was going on for a minute or what I was seeing as the two turtles were on their sides, and all I could see was claws and the underpart of shells. Also, of interest, my first damsel flies for the year and a female dot-tailed whiteface. I'm afraid the outcome for the hooded mergansers at Upper Northfield was not good. The eggs hatched as per egg casings insided the nest box. I suspect that the snapping turtles directly in front of the nest box made fast work of the hatchling ducklings. James R.
