A pleasant bird walk at Muscoot Farm was made particularly memorable when our group flushed a flock of ~35 Bobolink out of the grasses of the Pumpkin Field, due north of the farm proper, at about 9:25 this morning. There was a tendency by the birds to form two discrete flocks of equal size and composition by sex; whether some of these pairs will choose to nest here (as they did several years ago) remains to be seen. Muscoot, better known for its farm animals, is probably underrated as a birding destination in Westchester County.
