[rec.birds] Sightings at Mt. Auburn cemetary

pc@linus.UUCP (Melissa P. Chase) (05/08/89)

Since Spring migration is slowly getting underway, I thought it would
be fun to share some sightings.  We went out to Mt. Auburn cemetary (in
Cambridge, MA) this weekend (Friday 5/5 and Sunday 5/7).  Both days
were cool and mostly sunny.  Sunday was very windy and consequently
pretty quiet.  Here's a list of what we saw:

Starling				Tufted titmouse**
Brown-headed Cowbird			Blue-grey gnatcatcher*
Red-winged Blackbird			Grey catbird
Flicker					Northern Mockingbird
Black and White Warbler*		American Robin
Northern Parula				Hermit Thrush*
Yellow Warbler*				Northern Oriole
Yellow-rumped Warbler			Orchard Oriole**
Chestnut-sided Warbler*			Chipping Sparrow
Palm Warbler*				White-throated Sparrow*
Cerulean Warbler**			House Finch
Phoebe					American Goldfinch
Eastern Kingbird**			Cardinal
Cedar Waxwing				Blue Jay
Black-capped Chickadee			Rock Dove
					Crow


* Friday only
** Sunday only

Although we didn't see them, there were reports of Black-throated
Blue Warblers, Black-throated Green Warblers, and a Blackburnian Warbler.
