I took p= hotos of a larger turtle with painted turtles about three or four weeks ago= which I've yet to id. The shell was different and the underpart of the th= e shell was also different. This was at the Desbrisay Park in Bridgewater= =2C so I suspect that it was a release of a turtle species that is not supp= osed to be here. If someone can have a look at the photos email me and I'l= l send them to you. =20 James R.

It has been present for about three weeks total. There ar= e now four brown-headed cowbirds there with three males and a female. He h= ad one bobolink about a week ago and now there are two males and a female. = Either seven black-bellied plovers or American golden plovers have shown u= p on his back field. He has never seen them there in the spring=2C but alw= ays in the fall. I described to him the difference between the two species= and he will try to get a definite id for me. A male and female indigo bun= ting which had been present there left only a few days ago. =20 =20 From East LaHave=2C Robin Wyllie had what he keyed out as a western tanager= . It is quite possible that this bird was a first spring summer tanager=2C= possibly the same bird that had been in West Dublin. His description was = that he thought it was a large goldfinch at first except for the red head. = His original description on the phone was of an all yellow bird with a red= head. He is unsure if it had black on the back or wings and the bird did = not stick around longer than a day=2C so we will never know. =20 James R.
