Cutler Park



Dedham Needham Town line, originally uploaded by oehlkers.
I took a stroll through the lower Cutler Park trails, largely to find the bird I'd heard earlier in the week. And there it was, holding court, singing its song over and over. A Baltimore Oriole. Hear the song here. Along the way I spotted a bobolink rose-breasted grosbeak flying away (those white spots under the wing make it so easy to ID). I've yet to hear it sing this year. [The image above is across the road from Cutler--a gated access road and canoe launch right on the town line, apparently]
[UPDATE: A Mother's Day stroll around Cutler Pond: a zillion yellows and yellow-rumps, plus Orioles both Baltimore and Orchard, a Warbling Vireo (warbling). And two Canada Goose families, with 15 or so goslings on display.]
