@AndresFreundTec And a lot of persistence! Reminds me of one of the classics of the industry, Cliff Stoll's Cuckoo's Egg - "Stoll traced the error to an unauthorized user who had apparently used nine seconds of computer time and not paid for it" leading to a german hacker selling content to the KGB - 38 years ago.

One of the highlights was a sandpiper - possibly a solitary? Merlin is dubious but we're in the right place for it to be migrating, maybe. https://www.flickr.com/photos/eichin/55276573093/ (the other pics and videos are the same individual.)

https://www.flickr.com/photos/eichin/55267409757/ Didn't see any of the usual cormorants or herons (or *any* waterbirds, which is odd for the Quabbin, though I'm usually not there in spring time, it's more of a summer thing)
