Late April in Needham

Charles River, Charles River Peninsula, Needham, MA
It is almost May, time for the main event, but this last week in April has been pretty nice around these parts.
Palm Warbler, Charles River Peninsula, Needham, MA
Birds and blossoms.
Orchard Oriole, Charles River Peninsula, Needham, MA
Blossoms and birds.
American Kestrel, Charles River Peninsula, Needham, MA
And a poor kestrel bothered relentlessly by blue jays.
Great Egret, Rosemary "Lake," Needham, MA
Meanwhile, Rosemary Lake is a mud flat for what might be the very last time. 
Yellowlegs and Mallard, Rosemary "Lake," Needham, MA
The DEP may not let the town drain it again and if it does there will be a dredging operation instead of a feeding zone for yellowlegs, herons and egrets.
