Quabbin Park-Belchertown Areas. May 3rd.

Spent a few hours Sunday, birding around Quabbin Park on an overcast morning. The park was fairly active, but no noticeable waves of migrants. If fact, most birds observed were probably breeders. From Quabbin- Headed to the Small Farms Institute on Jackson street and then to Warren Wright Rd. both locations in Belchertown. Again, nice birding, but no noticeable waves of new migrants.
