A Northern wheatear reported last week in Yarmouth apparently moved westward to the beachfront area near Scorton Creek of East Sandwich. The bird was seen by a number of observers as recently as Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. Also noteworthy, last weekend was one of very few state records of Pacific golden-plover, which was photographed and well-documented at the Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm in Newbury.

Berkshire County: Among observations were a Baird’s sandpiper in Sheffield and a yellow-throated vireo in Great Barrington.

Bristol County: There was an American white pelican at Cockeast Pond in South Dartmouth, a Caspian tern and a clay-colored sparrow at Gooseberry Neck in Westport, and a sedge wren at Broad Cove in Somerset.

Cape Cod: Highlights at South Monomoy included a common gallinule, four long-billed dowitchers, and a barn owl. Other reports of note featured three yellow-crowned night-herons and a yellow-breasted chat at Fort Hill in Eastham, a Baird’s sandpiper at Hatches Harbor in Provincetown, two Caspian terns at Scorton Harbor in Sandwich, two gray-cheeked thrushes at Wellfleet Bay Sanctuary in South Wellfleet, two Connecticut warblers at Wing Island in Brewster, and a lark sparrow at Peterson Farm in Falmouth.

Connecticut Valley: In the region, a black scoter and a sanderling were in Northfield, and two dickcissels were found in Deerfield.

Essex County: A buff-breasted sandpiper and two Connecticut warblers were found at the Spencer-Peirce-Little Farm in Newbury. From Plum Island, came reports of two little blue herons, a Baird’s sandpiper, a black guillemot, and a yellow-throated warbler. At King’s Beach in Lynn, a little gull was observed, and at Rough Meadows Sanctuary in Rowley came reports of a gray-cheeked thrush and a hooded warbler. Tallied at Crane Beach in Ipswich, were three lingering piping plovers, and in the North Shore Community Gardens in Middleton a blue grosbeak was seen.

Near the Chestnut Hill Reservoir in Chestnut Hill, a Philadelphia vireo was sighted.
