The Blue Grosbeak being reported from Suffield is on the mass line. When birding that area, everything to the left of the stonewall is Mass. with breeding season and the atlas just try and be mindful of your locations. Dickcissels are being seen on both sides of the line, but the location the grosbeak favors is well into mass.

And please stay on the paths. I have received a lot of reports of people trudging through the grassland to get closer to these birds. There are several pairs of endangered Grasshopper Sparrows nesting in this area and they nest on the ground and their nests can easily be trampled.

Thank you.

Sean, and others...
Is the Blue Grosbeak still being seen at or near the Suffield WMA? If it stays on the MA side, do birders have access there?

Yes, southwick and suffield are the same property on either side of the state line.
