Ducks

Spotted first four, then later up to seven or eight, northern pintails at the Ice House Pond.  I think this might be a life bird for me.  I certainly haven't seen one here in Acton and think it is pretty unusual to see one at the Ice House Pond.

 

Lori and I were at Arlington Reservoir last weekend and saw my year's first buffleheads.  Cold and wind cut the morning short.  Lori and I made the best of it with a Chardonnay and Hollandaise brunch at Tryst in Arlington.
