Confirmed bird sightings on the Outer Cape in the week preceding the Independent’s deadline on Tuesday, Feb. 27 included the following, based on a report prepared by Mass Audubon’s Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. This report looks all the way back to Feb. 14 because the bird tallier at the Audubon was away last week.

A Townsend’s Solitaire was photographed at High Head in North Truro this past weekend.
The Western Kingbird and Lark Sparrow continued at the Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham this week, along with an Eastern Phoebe.
