6/14

 

From Rafael Campos:

Hi all:
As the Spring migration has stopped, and a good number of sps of birds already are attending their nests, other could be seen feeding the nestlings or fledlings.
Nothing out of context during my morning walk thru PP, from 7:30-10:30 am. But at the Vale, 1 perched RT Hawk was being mobbed by Robins & Grackles.
I saw 1 male Orchard Oriole carrying food, by the edge of the Long Meadow.
