A common raven was spotted this weekend on the Vineyard, but despite the name the sighting is anything but common. This is only the second sighting of the species on the Island.

It is exciting to have November start off with a surprising find.

It is fun to see a species when and where you do not expect it, like a Wilson's snipe in Aquinnah.

A lark sparrow is this week’s Bird of the Week. This normally western sparrow seldom reaches the Atlantic Coast.

A male black-throated gray warbler was found Oct. 8 near Squibnocket Pond. It is the sixth time this species has been observed on the Vineyard.

Have you ever wondered why the names of some bird species change?
