While birding with some buddies this evening at Bass Ponds, we heard the unmistakable calls of yellow-headed blackbirds. Bushwhacked our way down to the edge of Longmeadow Lake and got a great look at at least one of them flying, then perched in the marsh, definitely heard another nearby. Saw the white patches in the wings as the one flew. It was being harassed by a red-winged blackbird.
We were on the path between the ponds and the lake - take a right after going straight from the long driveway at the entrance - and they were somewhere past that first small water hole encrusted with algae - maybe around the midpoint of the next pond? I'm sorry I can't pinpoint the location better than that, was too excited to notice.
