In case you missed it, over at BirdingIsFun I posted my report of the Brookline Bird Club pelagic trip off Massachusetts last month. Check it out for a narrative view. Or if you want the blow by blow account--not blowing groceries--but rather eBird reports from every step of the way, check out the links below:

Fly By Night Dickcissel
Early this morning, while I was sleeping, my Oldbird 21c microphone picked up a Dickcissel calling as it flew over my house. This is a locally rare breeder and migrant, and a new bird for my yard. Thanks to technology, I'm even birding when I'm asleep!
