Common Loon, Lake Wallace, Belchertown, MA, June 27, 2014
A morning stop at Lake Wallace looking for herons/egrets turned up just a single Great Blue Heron.  Waterfowl was well represented with several family groups of Wood Ducks (with nearly 50 individuals around), ten Mallards, a few Hooded Mergansers and some nearly full size Canada Geese goslings plus an unusual flyby Common Loon.  Nothing else too noteworthy around this morning.
Winsor Dam, June 27, 2014

A brief stop at Winsor Dam and the Route 9 marsh found the three eaglets still in the nest at the dam and about a dozen Wood Ducks at the marsh.
