Three consecutive daily visits to the public gardens and the Mallards were back in numbers after the deep freeze. I also saw a FOY adult Common Grackle - the promise of spring to come.
At the weekend I tried again, successfully this time, for the BARROW’S GOLDENEYE, which was pretty close to the shore for several minutes. A very handsome drake and a long sought after life-tick, the only disappointment was that I wasn’t able to get any photos because it was diving too frequently.
Sunday 7th, Kennedy Library Seawall, MA, USA.
The next week’s visits to the public gardens, with good numbers of American Robin seen one morning.
Tuesday 9th & Wednesday 10th, Boston Public Gardens, MA, USA.
Olmsted Park patch visit for a site-tick Lesser Scaup, one of the two that was previously at Willow Pond, where one still remained.
The next day I visited the public gardens where all the water had been drained from the pond. There was also a Northern Mockingbird in the 9/11 garden.
Monday 22nd, Boston Public Gardens, MA, USA.
