Subject: [BostonBirds] Black Vulture Experiences in West Rosbury Comparisons |
As some of you may already know, I discovered eleven Black Vultures at Brook Farm Reservation in West Roxbury about a week or so ago. Two days ago, I luckily found my previous record of Black Vultures without too much difficulty in one of my notebooks'journals. The similarities were striking.. The winds were strong out of the SW on 4/22/16, just as they were during my more recent sighting. Also, one was at 4:30 and the other at 5:00. Also, they were virtually in the same location Brook Farm vs St. Joseph's Cemetery. Seventy-nine degrees the former, and sixty-four or so the latter. The previous was composed of three Black Vultures and seven Turkey Vultures. Mike McCarthy happened to see these vultures too. he lives very nearby to the spot where I happened to be . He had a different configuration of the vultures than I.

While walking between the 2nd and 3rd bridhes at Brook Farm Reservation today at 4:30 p.m., I happened to look up. My initial thought was eagles, but that didn't make any sense. I put my binoculars up and clearly saw ELEVEN BLACK VULTURES. This was just after seeing and hearing eight Rusty Blackbirds in a tree at the 3rd bridge and a pair of very clumsy Snapping Turtles trying to mate. I don't recall ever having so much awesomeness before in so short a time.
Great Blue Heron 1 minimum
Wood Duck 5 high school wetland and B.F. combined
Green-winged Teal 3 B.F. at 2nd bridge

This afternoon/evening, I was ambling along at the Leo J. Martin Golf Course north of Concord St.. I then crossed over to the section south of Concord Rd. (opposite Pine Grove Ave. I headed over to the brushy wetlands and soon realized I was hearing multiple Rusty Blackbirds.I was right near the stone bridge that divides Newton from Weston. Also, the habitat was perfect for this species-classic rusty habitat. I walked along the swamp edge up to the wooden boarwalk over the Charles River. I then walked across this bridge which was built for golfers to the other side and along that edge. I reckon there were Twenty-two Rusty Blackbirds in total: There is one pullover spot on Intervale Rd. near Park St. This area along the Charles is quite beautiful.
