Recent bird sightings as reported to the Mass Audubon:
Fall migration is increasingly producing a variety of warblers in modest numbers, but no major migration fallouts have been observed yet. Uncommon fall migrants such as American golden-plovers, Baird’s and buff-breasted sandpipers, Philadelphia vireos, and Cape May warblers all seem to be arriving on schedule, however.
Boston area: Among sightings were broad-winged hawk, a Philadelphia vireo, and a bay-breasted warbler. Observers also spotted a Lincoln’s sparrow at Franklin Park, an American golden-plover at Revere Beach, and a stilt sandpiper at Belle Isle in East Boston. Three buff-breasted sandpipers were seen at Bayswater Street Park in Boston, and two more at Winthrop Beach.
Cape Cod: Reports continued to reflect some of the most unusual birds, including a magnificent frigatebird at First Encounter Beach in Eastham, a brown booby at Sandy Neck in Barnstable, and an American avocet at High Head in Truro. A buff-breasted sandpiper was noted at West Dennis Beach, two Baird’s sandpipers were seen at Race Point in Provincetown, and another Baird’s sandpiper was seen at Sandy Neck Beach. Also at First Encounter in Eastham, six Leach’s storm-petrels were tallied, as well as a black-legged kittiwake. A razorbill was observed in Provincetown. Other noteworthy reports from the Cape included a barn owl at South Monomoy Island, and Philadelphia vireos at Fort Hill in Eastham, Wellfleet Bay Sanctuary, Barnstable, and Mashpee, where a worm-eating warbler was also observed.
