Today was an all day rainy day. At times it would pour and other times be reduced to a drizzle. The temperatures stayed in the 50's for most of the day with a steady east wind. Given the conditions I made numerous trips over to Quabbin to see if the weather grounded any birds or moved any in from the east. No big surprises as far as birds were concerned just the usual suspects here such as Bald Eagle, Common Loon and three species of swallows plus others. One odd sighting was a White-tailed Deer that appeared directly out in front of the HQ building in the middle of the afternoon and walked along the edge before jumping into the water and swimming the 50 feet or so to the other shore. Despite all the deer in this area I had never seen a deer in this particular spot before.
The deer is a specimen. Great shots. And swimming to boot.
ReplyDeleteI really didn't expect to ahve it jump in the water there and swim the short distance across the little cove...very odd.
