Returned from another trip down to Costa Rica yesterday and had a fantastic time.  I'll have a full post about that soon with tons of photos but figured I would include a few for now.

Northern Pintails, Lower Mill Pond, Easthampton, MA, Jan 26, 2018

Meanwhile back in the cold of winter here I turned up a few decent birds on Friday morning including a Snowy Owl and a group of five Northern Pintails.

Black Vultures, Easthampton, MA, Jan 28, 2017

I once again tried (and failed) to find the Redhead that has been seen on and off for a couple weeks at Lower Mill Pond in Easthampton.  My consolation prize was four Black Vultures at the top of a smokestack nearby.
