The juvenile bald eagle just outside of Bridgewater is now almost the size =
of the adult.

=20

I had a call from Hebb's Mills with two adult great-horned owls trying to t=
each a young one to fly.  They had the young one up on top of a wood pile=
=2C but were unsuccessful.

=20

Cherry Hill Beach on May 31.  Twelve piping plovers.  We've lost three nest=
s so far.  We have a major issue with American crows on the beach this year=
.  A few of the nests lost were very close to hatching.  We still have thre=
e=2C maybe four active nests.  Two will now have predator enclosures.  One =
should be very close to hatching.

=20

I had a glaucous gull on May 31 at Cherry Hill

=20

On May 31 at Cherry Hill as well=2C I heard a flycatcher singing that I did=
 not recognize.  Upon investigation it was an Eastern Kingbird.  I've never=
 heard one vocalize before.

=20

May 31=2C other shorebirds on Cherry Hill.  Nine black-bellied plovers=2C n=
ine willets and a greater yellowlegs.

=20

June 4=2C at 22:00 in Lunenburg.  It was dark and I heard a very vocal merl=
in calling.  I believe this should signify nesting.  I'll have to investiga=
te during daylight hours.
