eBird Report - Wolbach Farm, Sudbury, 5/20/10 - B-T Green Warbler & Eastern Wood-Pewee

I apologize for the late posting (was exhausted after a long day yesterday). Nonetheless, I had some time to enjoy myself in between working on a farmer's rock wall and attending the SVT Volunteer Appreciation event, so I decided to ramble around the trails in behind Wolbach Farm itself and also whatever I could see on the rest of the property at Wolbach. Mainly a number of your usual suspects, but was pleasantly surprised to come across a Black-throated Green Warbler and an Eastern Wood-Pewee while walking along the Inner Loop Trail.  A Wood Thrush made it's presence known near the end of the Outer Loop Trail where it meets up with the fields in behind Wolbach Farm. 4 Chimney Swifts kept on seemingly chasing each other across these fields out towards the Sudbury River floodplain, intermingling with a few Tree Swallows.

If looking for a quick, easy little walk amongst some nice wooded habitat, check out SVT's Wolbach Farm (it is also its headquarters): http://www.sudburyvalleytrustees.org/.

Here are some directions: Directions: 

From Intersection of Route 128/95 and Route 20
Go west on Route 20 to Wayland Center which is the intersection of 20 and Route 27. Take Route 27 north towards Sudbury approximately 1.5 miles. Cross town line into Sudbury, crossing over the Sudbury River. Third road on the left is Wolbach Road, which is marked by SVT sign. Parking in lot just before the house on the right.

From 495
Take Route 62 east through Hudson. Continue straight when Route 62 goes north (towards Stow): this becomes State Road and then Hudson Road when you enter Sudbury. From the Hudson rotary to Sudbury Center is approximately 4.5 miles. Route 27 merges onto Hudson Road and goes through Sudbury Center. Continue approximately 1.0 mile on Route 27 after the Center; Wolbach Road will be on your right as you head downhill into a straightaway. If you cross the river, you have gone too far. Parking is in lot just before the house.

I hope everybody is able to get out this weekend to enjoy this fine weather and all the birds that there are to observe and enthrall in! Happy birding!
