| Common Loon, Quabbin Park, Nov 6, 2013 |
With a little time before work I stopped by Quabbin Park to
see what I could find. There were a few species of waterfowl around including a cool dozen Common Loons, five Horned Grebes, a Long tailed Duck, nine Common Mergansers, four Hooded Mergansers, a Wood Duck, 15 Black Ducks and a few Mallards. Tried my luck once again to catch up with anything unusual
at Winsor Dam but all I found during a quick walk there were a few Snow
Buntings.
More southerly winds today and tomorrow give us another
chance for vagrant birds to be blown into the area before a cold front moves through during the afternoon tomorrow. Yet again the big target would be Cave
Swallow. Only a few reports of the
species came in with the last bout of southerly winds. Perhaps this
time more of them will show up.
Again, much more likely to appear on the coast but the chances are
always there of one making its way through western Massachusetts. Other species are certainly possible and could turn up anywhere.
