Squantum 5/4

From Linda Ferraresso:

On the BBC trip to Squantum this morning, there was an immature Little Blue Heron seen at Squantum Point Park off East Squantum Street in Quincy.     Entering the old airfield section from the parking lot, the heron was seen behind the fence on the left at the start of the paved paths (there are one or two reasonably good viewing areas).  There was also a Spotted Sandpiper seen in this wet area.  Yellow Warblers were singing everywhere!
Squaw Rock was a little slow but we had a few good birds there as well:
House Wren     2
Catbird     12
Brown Thrasher    1
Black and White Warbler   1
Yellow-rumped Warbler     1
Yellow Warbler      5
White-throated Sparrow     7
