Stormy Day



Me, auntie loreal, liam and daddy went to western Massachusetts to try and find a Mourning Warbler. We went to a place to see some Black Squirrels. It took a little while to see a Black Squirrel then finally we saw it but it was really shy and the Gray Squirrels were too. We also saw a bird fly into a window and die. It was a Red-bellied Woodpecker. That made me feel sad. At the Mourning Warbler spot we were getting attacked by bugs!!! When we were driving on the roads we saw an American Woodcock and daddy got a picture of it. We also saw a Ruffed Grouse in the road! Then we heard Purple Finch singing!  Then we went to a barn and we saw a Cliff Swallow on a wire and it was thundering and lightening. Auntie Loreal was scared in the car! There was more Cliff Swallows living at the barn! Then on the way home we stopped at a hotel and there was more Cliff Swallows at the hotel in their nests on the corners of the hotel.
