| Bald Eagles, Winsor Dam, Quabbin Park, MA, Dec 6, 2017 |
As the first week of December comes to a close the relatively tranquil weather continues and the variety of birds around continues to be quite high. In the first seven days of the month I have found 76 species in the county, which is at least ten more than I typically find in the entire month! Continuing rarities/lingering species just from today included Long tailed Duck (at Winsor Dam) and Red headed Woodpecker, Common Yellowthroat, Yellow rumped Warbler and Clay colored Sparrow (all at Arcadia). Getting two species of warbler in the early part of December is really fantastic and not something I have been able to accomplish before. Yesterday a brief stop at Winsor Dam produced a gathering of eleven Bald Eagles (all close in) plus a Red breasted Merganser.
