Pretty good day of birding today; logged 55 species at Fernald Nature
Preserve. I'll list them all below, since I'm new to the area; still trying
to figure out what's notable. Here's my initial attempt:

* Wigeon and Pintail arrived (others reported both Teal and Ring-neckeds,
which I missed)
* High number of Rough-wings
* 2 species of kinglets
* 6 species of warblers
* 6 species of sparrows
* 1 first winter Blue Grosbeak
