Added Cassin’s Sparrow as a new statebird for me in Massachusetts this week – a first for MA, in Truro near the end of Cape Cod. This bird was first found last weekend and luckily stuck around until I could break away to see it. Quite a number of Cassin’s have been seen recently across the country outside their normal breeding range. Presumably the extreme drought in the central part of the country has caused them to wander considerably. I saw one just a week ago in central Kansas which was also outside this species’ normal range, but not nearly as much as the Massachusetts bird. #391 for me in Massachusetts
Copied in below is my statebird map for Cassin’s Sparrow.
