    Bird Observer VOLUME 44, NUMBER 3 JUNE 2016 HOT BIRDS A Western Grebe, originally detected by Alan Trautmann during the annual TASL Boston Harbor waterbird census on February 7, went unreported from that date until rediscovered by Soheil Zendeh, March 11. It was then enjoyed by many birders through at least April 16. Suzanne Sullivan took the photo on the left. In a textbook case of the “Patagonia Picnic Table Effect”, birders chasing the first-state- record Yellow-billed Loon at Race Point found not one but two Common Gulls, the European subspecies of Mew Gull. Dick Veit reported the first one on March 13. Mary Keleher photographed what she thought was the same bird on March 26 but subsequent examination determined this to be a second individual. Jason Forbes took the photo on the left. A flock of Glossy Ibis, described by several longtime area birders as the largest they’d ever seen and numbering over 400 birds at times, was found by Steve Grinley and Margo Goetschkes to include at least two and maybe three White-faced Ibis. The flock circulated between the Hamlin Reservation in Ipswich, Pikul’s Pans in Rowley, and other nearby wetlands between April 24 and May 5. Bob Stymeist took the photo on the left. The best (so far) find of an excellent spring for inland seabirds was the Little Gull that Jonathan Pierce photographed (on left) on Silver Lake in Pittsfield on April 29, apparently only the second record ever for Berkshire County. Unfortunately, the bird flew off after being photographed and was not seen again despite much searching by many area birders.

New Education Center Will Spotlight Our Changing Coast ©S.RYDGREN Thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor, Trustees will soon build a Coastal Education Center at Crane Beach. Situated between the Atlantic barrier beach and the estuaries of the Great Marsh, the Center will be a regional hub for coastal exploration and enhance The Trustees’ commitment to climate issues by offering visitors an immersive educational experience around our changing coast. The ground floor of the two-story structure—which will be built on the footprint of the current Snack Shack building—will house Crane Beach’s new refreshment stand and retail store, while the upper floor will provide open-air classrooms, touch tanks, and educational space to serve the reservation’s 350,000 annual visitors. Access to the Center will be included in the cost of admission to the beach, and while the Center will ©J.MONKMAN operate year-round, the bulk of programming and events will take place in the fall, winter, and spring so as not to increase summer traffic. Trustees is working with DesignLab to develop designs for the Center that include sustainability and resilience as key elements—such as X-Country Ski flexible layouts to adapt to flooding events in the next two decades—and to ensure the Center and Snowshoe blends well with landscape features and the adjacent bathhouse structure.

    Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation Bureau of Planning and Resource Protection Resource Management Planning Program RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN Middlesex Fells Planning Unit Including Middlesex Fells Reservation January 2012 Middlesex Fells Planning Unit Including Middlesex Fells Reservation RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PLAN 2012 Deval L. Patrick, Governor Timothy P. Murray, Lt. Governor Richard K. Sullivan, Jr., Secretary Edward M. Lambert, Jr., Commissioner John P. Murray, Deputy Commissioner for Park Operations Dear Friends, Supporters, Users and Stakeholders of the DCR Middlesex Fells Reservation; I am pleased to introduce you to this Resource Management Plan (RMP) for the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) Middlesex Fells Reservation. RMPs provide guidelines for management of properties under the stewardship of the DCR. They are intended to be working documents for setting priorities, enabling the DCR to adapt to changing fiscal, social and environmental conditions. The planning process provides a forum for communication and cooperation with park visitors and the surrounding communities to ensure transparency in the DCR’s stewardship efforts. For more than a century, the DCR Middlesex Fells Reservation has provided visitors a natural oasis in the midst of an urbanized landscape and an opportunity for visitors to connect with nature. The reservation offers a variety of nature-based recreational activities that are special to the residents of metropolitan Boston and beyond. It is home to ten rare plants and animals, uncommon natural communities and cultural and historic resources that live as a testament to our agrarian and industrial past. Generations of users have traversed its trails, viewed the Boston skyline from atop its rocky hills and enjoyed the sound of birdsong echoing through the forest.
