From Sudbury Center (the intersection of Concord Road and Route 27), take Hudson Road west (staying left on Hudson rather than following Route 27 north) for 2.0 mi to Dutton Road on the left. Take Dutton Road 1.8 mi, staying on Dutton Road by bearing right at intersection with Garrison, to an unpaved access on the right into a parking area under pine trees. There is an SVT sign at the entrance to the parking area.
Location: Memorial Forest, Sudbury, MA
Observation date: 3/5/10
Notes: A vast and glorious pine forest at Memorial with some wetlands and several brooks running through the property. Numerous Black-capped Chickadees (seemed to be BC Chickadee central!) and Tufted Titmice. The highlights of course was the lone Eastern Bluebird and the Red-breasted Nuthatch. My inclination is that there were probably more RB Nuthatches around, but I find they tend to be more seclusive than their White-breasted brethren. If anybody decides to check out Memorial Forest, you'll need waterproof boots with good grip (still packed ice and snow along trails) and the loop south of Trout Brook is partially flooded (you'll have to do some trekking around it).
Number of species: 9
Ring-billed Gull - Larus delawarensis 3
Mourning Dove - Zenaida macroura 4
Downy Woodpecker - Picoides pubescens 1
American Crow - Corvus brachyrhynchos 3
Black-capped Chickadee - Poecile atricapillus X
Tufted Titmouse - Baeolophus bicolor X
Red-breasted Nuthatch - Sitta canadensis 1
White-breasted Nuthatch - Sitta carolinensis 4
Eastern Bluebird - Sialia sialis 1
