Birding the Berkshires
2 November 2019
I went out on an excursion run by Mass Audubon to see ducks before they migrate south; we visited Pontoosuc Lake and Onota Lake. We saw many different types, including common and hooded mergansers, black scoters (a rarity around here), wood ducks, ring-necked ducks (and ring-billed gulls), mallards (of course), Canada geese, a loon, a great blue heron, and a juvenile and an adult bald eagle. Unfortunately, the range was extreme for my gear, so the pictures aren't great.
I saw the dragonfly myself later, at Parson's Marsh.
