eBird Report - 83 Hartwell Avenue, Littleton, MA 01460 , 5/29/10

Its been a pretty lax day in terms of being productive (it is Memorial Day Weekend after all), so thusly, boredom set in whilst at home. Henceforth, I decided to take a little stroll around the yard this evening and was blessed with some good birds, like a GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER that is still kicking around that had arrived earlier this week. A RED-EYED VIREO was singing his heart out in our front yard, and the CAROLINA WRENS were still scrapping with the 2 resident HOUSE WRENS over the bluebird box that is in our backyard. It seems the Carolinas have become content with checking out the brush piles and shrubbery along the borders of our backyard. One pair of the 2 pairs of ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS that have made our area home made an appearance during the time I was outside (5:30 to 6 pm), happily munching away at the main bird feeder (black sunflower seed). A RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH was chillin' along our western border of the yard (facing Proctor Hill) in the pines (though pines surround our entire front and back yard). Not too shabby I would say. Just a pleasant evening mingling (of sorts) with our fine-feathered friends! Happy birding to all!!
