Thanks. Liz .......... HI James, Any rails at the Amherst Marsh. Rob ............... Yesterday, Kevin Lantz, myself and Dorothy Poole took a run to Folly Moutain and Amherst. It was a great day with about 76 or so species and 70 seen by all of us. Highlights were great looks at the mourning warbler in Folly Mountain and of a winter wren perched within a few feet. We had a Swainson's thrush out in the open and singing about 10-15 feet from us. At Amherst it was good to see 16 black terns and the cliff swallows there. Thank you Jeff. The eastern phoebe did not seem to be at Wentworth anymore. Lots of butterflies and dragonflies about. We had a number of monarchs in response to an earlier posting. I'm not sure where the previous beaver was reported as dead, but there was a large one by the 104 just before River Phillip. I've never seen so many dead crows on the road before. There were probably two dozen. Likely, young inexperienced birds. There appeared to be an ant hatch on everywhere and we observed American crows picking up and eating these ants at a number of locations. I suspect that is why most were in the middle of the road and killed as they were after this food source. Since my posting on the response for the cliff swallows I've heard of a number of locations including one spot where I thought that they had not returned to this year where they are now nesting again.
