4/14 - Milford, Clover Street, with Don Morgan and about 7 other birders: male YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD from about 6:00pm to 6:40pm. It had not been seen all day on Chester St, so I checked the next street over, where its crazy song got my attention. Seen in tree over 49 Clover St (man let me go in his backyard), then in backyard of 34 Clover St (couple who lives here says it visits their yard at least twice a day, including some mornings), then again at 6:40 from Chester St.
Milford, Anderson Ave Marsh - male BLUE-WINGED TEAL at dusk
Stratford, Long Beach Blve, Railroad Trail - male BOAT-TAILED GRACKLE, 1 WILSON'S SNIPE earlier in afternoon
Y-h Blackbird pics, incl one singing:

Great day of birding after not birding for a while. Believe it or not, I just went over 100 species for the year - that's how little I've been out lately.
