| Winsor Dam, Quabbin Park, MA, Dec 12, 2014 |
The sun finally came out today (at least briefly) for the first time since last Sunday as the slow moving storm system finally moved away. I headed over to the area of south Quabbin in search of mainly waterfowl and found some. Winsor Dam featured a pair of Common Goldeneyes, a few flyby Mallards and a Common Loon. Quabbin Park itself was quiet with just a couple Common Goldeneyes, a Common Loon and a Horned Grebe. The mainly frozen over Beaver Lake in Ware held a Ring necked Duck, four Mallards, a Hooded Merganser and seven Common Mergansers. Overall quite slow for waterfowl but at least I got some good looks at a few individuals. Other highlights included some flyby Pine Siskins in Quabbin Park plus a flock of 24 siskins at Winsor Dam.

A brief stop at Winsor Dam in the early afternoon produced a Red necked Grebe out on the reservoir and an Eastern Towhee hanging out around the HQ building. It is getting a bit late for the towhee but him seems to have found a good home there (no photos of the towhee today...didn't have the good camera with me)

| Wilson playing ball in the snow, Dec 12, 2014 |
Spent some time in the snow covered yard with Wilson and between games of ball I managed to find a Winter Wren skulking in the brush.
