May 17, 2006

(also see link to photos of hummingbirds in nest)

Birded Alewife Reservation Wednesday a.m. with one other, trail blocked by flooded stream so walked Acorn Drive. Developer's machines are in the Silver Maple forest. Deep in there my acolyte pointed to a tiny bird, and it was a Ruby Throated Hummingbird visiting a honeysuckle bush! We also saw a Veery, Yellow Warblers, heard BTG, Tree Swallows at bird box almost tame. [Also a black-throated green warbler.]
