Horn Pond Recreation Area (Woburn, MA); 21 May 2020
Today was an ok day for birding. It was very sunny, not too cold (high 40’s F), and there was very little wind. The only problem was that there were a lot of other people out on the paths around the pond, which kinda got in the way of taking good pictures or audio recordings of a lot of birds. My excursion only lasted from about 7am to about 11:00am-ish because there became too many people as the morning became later -- this caused it to be near-impossible to try to identify most of the birds I heard singing, let alone trying to take pictures or recordings of them. I wanted to stay out longer and try to get some more observations in, but to no avail. In the end, I was able to see and hear a bunch of good birds, though, which I am happy about.
