| Rooster at Gate 52, Quabbin Park, MA, Apr 19, 2015 |
I spent the last couple days close to home once again as I try to get over a stubborn stomach bug I picked up down south. Yesterday was somewhat pleasant outside with temps in the 60's but today was miserable with a cold, windy rain falling and temps stuck in the 40's. Yesterday I stopped by Quabbin Park and managed to find something unusual...a crowing rooster at the end of the Gate 52 road...I guess you never know what you will find at Quabbin! He was quite approachable and vocal so needless to say I didn't find him at the same spot today but I'm sure a coyote or some other predator ate quite well last night. The other highlights from yesterday included two Greater Scaup and five other distant scaup species as well as a Bald Eagle sitting on the dam.

With the rain today I hoped to catch up with some birds brought down by the weather but no luck despite some effort at Quabbin. The best I could find with several stops were five Bufflehead and three Common Loons. The Berkshires had much better luck with a Caspian Tern and Common Tern seen as well as a Purple Martin.
