Stopped off at the Dam around noon. The only activity at that time was a
Great Blue Heron. It stayed around for a few minutes than flew off with
another Great Blue toward the lower part of the lake. Went up to the Upper
Lake fore bay and the Cedar Waxwings where doing the same things they did a
few days ago. They very seldom land and stay very long unless it is in a
tree

Arrived shortly before noon today. There were Cedar Waxwings everywhere.
Mostly in the algae in groups. Just as I was leaving they all flew. There
were still some in branches over the water. Don't know where they went.
Didn't see much activity after that.
Have posted photos at: https://photos.app.goo.gl/BwiFyaJkAnigVbc93. Mystic

If any one knows how to be able to share my other albums in Google Photos,
unless sharing each individual album with different links, please let me
know. At one time Google said it couldn't be done. In Picasa all albums
were shared with one link.

Hello all,
An early visit to the dam this morning was rewarded with the presence of a patient great blue heron, a restless great egret, and a couple of what I believe to be juvenile black-crowned night herons. Please correct me if I am wrong about the latter.
Best,

Hi folks,
I just wanted to share 3 cool bird sightings I have had since yesterday-
1. At Mahoneys in Winchester yesterday am there were at least 10 goldfinches flying in and around their sunflowers in front of the building. At first it looked like the flowers were moving because the colors matched so well. Beautiful.
2. At the corner of Boston Ave and 16 I saw 2 hawks (I think red tails) flying about. One had a rodent in its talons and flew about 10 feet over my head. They settled in those taller trees.
3. This morning I drove past 5 turkeys on Sharon St. in someone's yard. That's the most I've seen in our neighborhood.
Highlights of my week!

Subject: [Arlington Birds] trip leaders needed |
The Trips Committee of the Menotomy Bird Club is currently assembling a
schedule for walks in the coming fall and winter months, and we are looking
for more volunteers to lead trips for us. The main qualification for this is
simply that you know a place to go birding and know your way around it. You
DON'T need to be an expert birder; you don't need to know more than anybody
else who might show up - others who join the trip can help you out if
necessary. While our mission has generally been to focus primarily on local
birding opportunities, we have in the past held several trips to popular
birding destinations slightly further afield, such as Plum Island, and those
are actually some of the trips we have lost from our schedule as a result of
leaders retiring.
If you are interested in helping out, please contact me. The Trips Committee
will be more than happy to help you plan your trip.
Thank you
Alan Ankers

Subject: [Arlington Birds] Upper Mystic Lake. 8/1/2018 |
I spent about 20 minutes around 10:30 this morning. There was a Great Blue
Heron at the upper fore bay flying in and one Double-crested Cormornant. I
was looking for some shorebirds, but didn't see any. There was one bird
flying across the lake but couldn't identify it. The two Swans with their
two young were still together. There was also a Blue Jay flying around by
the pond. The might have been more if I could have stayed longer. But
didn't hear any birds.
I have posted a couple of photos at:

“Soaring Toward the Future: New Challenges in Raptor Migration” is the theme of a conference organized by the Hawk Migration Association of North America (HMANA) to be held October 12-14. in Detroit, Michigan.
Conference highlights include keynote presentations by Kate Davis, founder of the education project Raptors of the Rockies, and Todd Katzner, a pioneering researcher on Golden Eagles. Featured presenters include three more world leaders in their fields: Rob Bierregaard on Osprey migration; Dr. David Bird on American Kestrels; and Bill Clark on field identification and migration.
An impressive lineup of presentations by many of the continent’s best citizen scientists will also be offered. The program explores such topics as raptor population trends; weather patterns and migration in a changing climate; possible shifts in migration routes and timing; raptor telemetry advances; conservation issues; education initiatives; advances in raptor identification; and raptor photography. There will also be a special presentation on unusual raptor plumages, including hybrids such as Red-tailed–Red-shouldered.
The conference also offers opportunities to visit two of North America’s leading hawk watch sites, Holiday Beach Migration Observatory in Canada (take your passport!), and Detroit River Hawk Watch at Lake Erie Metropark in the middle of migration, as well as other sites of birding and special interest.
This promises to be a truly exceptional opportunity for anyone interested in hawks. For complete information and to register, visithttp://www.hmana.org Special early bird registration prices are effective through August 31.
We hope to get a good contingent attending from Massachusetts. If you have any questions, please contact me offline.
Best,
Paul

Subject: [Arlington Birds] seemingly House Wren babies abandoned |
Inexplicably the adult House Wrens in my backyard have disappeared
(since at least this morning but possibly last night), yet faint cries
from inside the nest box can be heard.
House Wrens and Carolina Wrens nest on and around my property every
year. The House Wrens are very loud and make their presence known
24/7, so this is very atypical behavior for them.
Has anyone experienced this? If so, what if anything did you do?
Please respond via private message. Thank you.
