Another successful birding visit to Plum Island in Massachusetts, this time in mid August. The early morning flight of Tree Swallows was amazing and I picked up a nice variety of species including two new additions to the channel life list. I had 55 species total during this visit - my eBird checklist is linked below. ebird.org/checklist/S191074417

It has been a dry summer and water levels are down, opening up some mudflats just in time for shorebird migration. That is good news for my "Little Big Year"! A total of 8 new species are added to the list in this video.

Episode 9 of my 2024 quest to photograph 125 or more species on my home patch, Horn Pond Recreation Area in eastern Massachusetts. This episode includes a wide variety of good summer birds including several new additions to the year list.

I visit three beaches just north of Boston, Massachusetts and find a variety of nice birds with the highlight being American Oystercatchers.

This is a two part video - Part 1 is the search for an Acadian Flycatcher (unusual in my area), and then in Part 2 I update my channel list by showing some interesting video clips posted earlier on my channel, such as Barnacle Goose, Tropical Flycatcher, Chukar, and more.

I ventured away from my home patch to Plum Island, one of my favorite birding spots. I was able to find breeding Piping Plovers and Least Terns, Bobolinks, and many other species.
