To start the month, a couple of Leverett Pond patch visits, the first of which was to see a site-tick Gadwall (4th), and the second (11th) for early spring migrants including Eastern Phoebe and Tree Swallow.
Saturday 4th & Saturday 11th, Leverett Pond, MA, USA.
I twitched but dipped a black-backed woodpecker, Sunday 12th, Forest Hills Cemetery, MA, USA.
I managed 3 visits to the public gardens in one week for more migrants, notably 3 Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker and likely Hermit Thrush both on the 13th.
Monday 13th, Wednesday 15th & Thursday 16th, Boston Public Gardens, MA, USA.
On the weekend I visited Arnold Arboretum for the first time. I didn’t see an awful lot but enjoyed the walk and putting a place to the name.

Only one Olmsted Park patch visit where notable migrants were limited to Ruby-Crowned Kinglet and Brown Creeper.
