Dear Friends,
Nobska is a great place to see and watch birds. On certain windy afternoons at Nobska, a murder (flock) of crows gather as they get ready to make their way across the sound to Martha’s Vineyard. The common belief is that they nest on the Vineyard because, historically, there were no Great Horned Owls on the island so the young crows were safe from one of their few predators.
Want to participate as a citizen scientist? Happening on May 9th, Global Big Day, a project of eBird at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, is a worldwide bird count in which everyone can participate. Individuals' observations help to better understand global bird populations. No matter where you are or your level of birding experience, they want your sightings! Click here to learn more.

Locally, WCAI, the Cape and Islands NPR station, broadcasts the weekly bird report Wednesday mornings at 8:45 and afternoons at 5:45. WCAI Bird ReportMonthly, on WCAI's, The Point, an hour is devoted to birding with the opportunity for listeners to call in and ask questions. WCAI April Bird News
