Rarity Trip!

Our Trip



my dad and i went to go see a Long-billed Dowitcher in Arlington out by Boston. We got to the spot and we found it and looked through the scope. there were also Wilson's Snipes and Lesser Yellowlegs and a Great Cormorant, and Northern Shovelers!!

After that spot we went to go see an American Golden Plover. I did already have them last month in Connecticut but we decided to get  them for Massachusetts as well. My dad told me he thinks the bird is hurt. we sat near it on a rock and it walked right up to us!!! It didn't try flying at all which is why he thought it was hurt. A kingfisher kept flying near it and yelling at it.
