Never before have I reached the one hundred species mark for this place so early in the season. And the bird that allowed me to do it was one of my favorite warblers-the Bay-breasted. The bird was all the way down the dirt path well beyond the set of stairs, all the way to the old, rusty, spiked fence and beyond-in that large oak that partially overhangs the three decker property. I patiently waited for about fifteen minutes. The bird was singing constantly. Finally, I saw its beautiful features I birded from 6:00-10:00:

A very small area of oaks on both sides of Parker Hill Ave., near the entrance to Iroquois Woods, was the place to be. A BLUE GROSBEAK, a Yellow-throated Vireo, and fourteen warbler species were in those oaks. The birds were often low due to the heaviness of the air. I birded from 10:50-2:00:

Sorry for the late post, as stuff happens! I birded here and at the neighboring McLaughlin Woods from 9:05-12:05. The rarity was one of the first birds I found, at 9:15. Unfortunately, it hung around for ten minutes and peeled off towards perhaps Leverett Pond with several Yellow-rumped Warblers. It started as on and off light showers for twenty minutes:
Mallard Duck 2 rare here (flyover)

Black and White Warbler 3 maximum (probably just one, as it was quite active)
Northern Parula 1
Yellow-rumped Warbler 15
SUMMER TANAGER 1 1st spring male; same spot as the one I found five years ago (May 18, 2020)

After birding at Hall's Pond in Brookline, where I saw a Black and White Warbler, I found myself walking along Crowningshield St. and Elba Rd. I was not birding at this time. I was quite surprised to hear a Blue-gray Gnatgcatcher on a sidewalk tree. I whipped out my binoculars and saw the bird. Then, a few steps away, a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker flew into an evergreen tree at the next property.
