Location:    Eagleville Preserve,  Mansfield
Observation date:  8/5/08
Notes:    10 is a very conservative estimate  for Yellow Warblers.  They
were everywhere, in many cases pairs chasing.  Recently I saw very few and
thought they might have started migration.  Very few seen with red striping, so
probably mostly juveniles. 1st Veerys in  almost a month, at least 1 juvenile.
Swans and Mallards on Eagleville  Lake, all juvenile except 2 adult swans.

Hi Everyone,

We are raising a Willet we have had since it hatched . It is about 3 weeks old now, does not have flight ability yet although the primaries are coming in. I am thinking I have an easy 2 more weeks before it can fly and be considered for release.

Does anyone know how long breeding Willets and their offspring stick around the coast?

Any info would be appreciated.
