This blog ran out of steam a bit after the spring migration. It's true that bird-wise, summer is duller here in Somerville. We have our regulars, of course, but not so much in the way of birding excitement. Now it's fall already, and the birds have started to go the other way. But at least around here, the fall migration isn't nearly as notable as the spring. Probably that's because birds are following a different route back to the tropics.
That said, we still do get a few migrants here, such as the red-eyed vireo shown above, and a ruby-throated hummingbird. I admit haven't been that diligent about looking. I really should turn my attention to filling out the bird list.
