Snow Buntings, Quabbin Fishing Area 3, November 11, 2010 I spent the day along with Tom Gagnon scouting the route we will take next week when we lead a Hampshire Bird Club trip into the east side of Quabbin. We found a total of 43 species of bird with some nice sightings including White-winged Crossbill, Greater Yellowlegs, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Pine Siskin, Red-breasted Merganser, etc. It was interesting to compare the Red-breasted Mergansers with the Common Mergansers they were with. I will include the list for the day as its easier than recounting the entire day. Suffice it to say it was a nice day to be out exploring Quabbin and we will keep our fingers crossed that we will have as much luck when we lead the trip next week.
