Fisher Meadows Bird Walk Trip Report – 5/20/2023

We concluded our Fisher Meadows walk just before the rain started, but not before getting swarmed by mosquitoes. It felt like a relatively quiet morning (with a general dearth of warblers) but we manage to see Magnolia and Blackpoll Warblers and log 53 species, including a half dozen Orchard Orioles. Cedar Waxwings have finally returned in decent numbers, and we enjoyed seeing a mother Wood Duck with 12 newly hatched ducklings in tow in the Farmington River.
