Recent bird sightings as reported to the Mass Audubon:
Two of last week’s most notable bird reports were the number of thick-billed murres on the coast and yellow-bellied sapsucker sightings both coastally and inland. For a species that has historically been rather uncommon in Massachusetts during winter, the number of sapsucker reports statewide has been remarkable. Other outstanding sightings included a pink-footed goose, tundra swan, two golden eagles, a summer tanager, and an indigo bunting.
Berkshire County: Among notable sightings were two cackling geese at Corbin’s Neck in Sheffield, five gadwalls in Pittsfield, a golden eagle photographed over New Ashford Road in Williamstown, and a yellow-bellied sapsucker elsewhere in Williamstown.
Bristol County: The highlights included three snow geese at Sconticut Neck in Fairhaven, a continuing Eurasian wigeon in Acushnet, two Northern shovelers at Buttonwood Park in New Bedford, a Barrow’s goldeneye off Gifford Street in New Bedford, a greater yellowlegs at Demarest Lloyd State Park in Dartmouth, a snowy owl at Gooseberry Neck in Westport, and a red-headed woodpecker at the Lloyd Center in Dartmouth.
