On April 28, I reported siting my
50th bird species in Newton during 2007. With the observation of a
Black-crowned Night Heron on August 2, I am up to 92 bird species for the year. Some highlights include a
Common Loon at Crystal Lake and an
Orchard Oriole at Bullough's pond. Fall is a great time to observe migrant songbirds, sparrows, and waterfowl in Newton, at sites such as Crystal Lake, Charles River, Nahanton Park, Hammond Woods.
