I went birding in the Amherst area on Saturday, June the 20th.  I started at the Amherst Point Bird Sanctuary.  Recently James Hirtle posted that he hadn’t seen or heard many White-throated Sparrow this year.  I hadn’t as well until I went to the Sanctuary.  There were 10 White-throated Sparrows.  A Yellow-bellied Sapsucker tapped it’s irregular tap was also seen and heard.   It sounded like the bird was running out of steam by the end of it’s tapping.  Another highlight was a Marsh Wren at Eddy Marsh.  Two target species were not seen or heard. American Bittern or Virginia Rail.  It’s a beautiful area and I look forward to returning.

Links are posted below of the Ebird Reports for Amherst Point, Eddy Marsh and Amherst Marsh.
