Today is May 19, 2020. I headed to Nelson Island in Rowley, MA. The wind was blowing very high speed towards the south and it was about 52 degrees and sunny. I arrived around 7:23 AM and stayed until around 11:00 AM because it was very cold. There was a very wide trail I started on, but was not very long because it had flooded over. The beginning of the trail was pretty shrubby but after that it was a beautiful open grassland with little ponds spread throughout it. Although it was beautiful out, the wind made it a little to difficult to hear some birds clearly and record them. I noticed a lot of Sandpipers in the grassland area. I also saw a couple (what I believe were) Red-winged Blackbirds trying to defend themselves against an American Crow which was pretty cool.
One foraging on the ground, two others
A few flying above me
Heard an Eastern Towhee by sound
Not sure what type of Gull it was, but it was flying above me.
easy to spot their songs
Did not directly see, but heard its song
Heard a Yellow Warbler as well
Heard a Belted Kingfisher call
Almost positive I heard an Orchard Oriole a few times.
Could not tell what kind of Warbler it was, had some yellow and a little brown, but it was too far away. Might have been Yellow Warbler or Chestnut-sided Warbler.
