I visited Colchester Pond today after work.  The birds seemed fairly active with the cloudy weather.  Lots of insects flying near the pond.  Some Highlights included big flocks of Tree Swallows.  They seemed to be everywhere.  Two male Bobolinks chasing a female.  Yellow-throated Vireo.  A great view of a Brewster's backcross Hybrid.  It was singing the Blue-winged Warbler song.  Enjoy all the migrating birds out there!
