Jane and I, assisted by Ashton Almeida and Holly Bauer, led a bird walk today for the Seacoast Chapter of NH Audubon. https://www.seacoastchapter.org/ Most of the trip was spent on a long walk around Odiorne Point State Park, but we offered a trip extension to Goss Farm in Rye. The weather was sunny, calm, and seasonal with a bit of a seabreeze toward the end. Like last year, there were very few migrating birds except for a couple of Common Loons, a couple of hawks and a couple of small flocks of migrating cormorants. Odiorne Point State Park was kind of slow for migrants, but there some and we managed to dig out a decent variety! Highlights were the Yellow-billed Cuckoos and the small numbers of warblers and Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. Highlights at Goss Farm were the continuing Dickcissels, a beautiful Bobolink, and a fantastic group of 4 Rusty Blackbirds!
