  • Bird Observer
    Bird Observer VOLUME 39, NUMBER 2 APRIL 2011 HOT BIRDS On November 20 the Hampshire Bird Club was waiting at Quabbin headquarters for the rest of the group to arrive when Larry Therrien spotted a flock of 19 swans in the distance— Tundra Swans! Ian Davies took this photograph (left). Since 2003 Cave Swallows have been a specialty of November, showing up in coastal locations in increasing numbers over the years. This year there was a flurry of reports along the New England coast. On Thanksgiving Day, Margo Goetschkes took this photograph (right) of one of the birds at Salisbury. On November 30, Vern Laux got a call from a contractor reporting a “funny bird” at the Nantucket dump. Vern hustled over and was rewarded with great views of this Fork-tailed Flycatcher (left). Imagine: you’re photographing a Rough- legged Hawk in flight, and all of a sudden it is being mobbed—by a Northern Lapwing (right)! That’s what happened to Jim Hully on December 2 on Plum Island. This is only the second state record for this species, the first being in Chilmark in December of 1996. On April 9, Keelin Miller found an interesting gull at Kalmus Beach in Hyannis. As photographs were circulated, opinions shifted toward a Yellow-legged Gull (left). Check out Jeremiah Trimble’s photo from April 13.

  • Mansfield, MA
    Mansfield, MA Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) and Community Resilience Building Workshop Summary of Findings January 2019 Submitted by: Overview Mansfield is a town of over 23,000 residents in northwestern Bristol County, MA. Its neighboring towns include Easton to the east, Sharon to the northeast, Foxboro to the north, North Attleboro to the west, Attleboro to the southwest, and Norton to the south (see map from Mansfield’s 2017 Open Space Plan). It is located about 28 miles south of Boston, 14 miles from Brockton, and 19 miles from Providence, Rhode Island. This inland community has collaborated with neighboring towns to steward shared natural resources, namely through the Canoe River Aquifer Advisory Committee (CRAAC). Much of Mansfield is low‐lying, and its proximity to critical water bodies like the Canoe River and Rumford River makes effective household and municipal water management systems important. The increasing severity of the regional flood‐drought cycle is noted as a top concern to many residents. Regionally unique ecosystems like the Great Woods offer multiple benefits to the surrounding community and must be actively preserved against climate hazards. In addition to the flood‐drought cycle, heavy precipitation, high winds, and extreme temperatures have severely impacted Mansfield’s various assets. The town sees collaborative planning as the most effective way to ensure the future safety of town residents, and the protection of critical shared resources. This value of collaboration is seen in Mansfield’s leadership as part of an emerging regional group of open space experts working to coordinate conservation efforts. To help the town consider and prioritize actions to improve its climate resilience, the Town of Mansfield applied for and received a grant from the Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) to become a Designated Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) Community.
