Duck Walk 2012

Sunday morning was the Waltham Land Trust’s annual duck walk. It was a bit on the cool side, but not brutal. The sun was out and there was no wind. The recent freeze had finally pushed some birds onto the Charles and the 25 or so people that joined me had a great time.

Some quick photo highlights:

Hoodie

Male Hooded Merganser

First year male Goldeneye

Young male Common Goldeneye

Parade

Two male Common Goldeneye, female Bufflehead, male Ring-necked Duck on parade.

Also lots of Common Mergansers plus more of all of the above. The big highlight was an almost mature Bald Eagle that cruised up the river. Too quick for any pictures, but just about everyone got on it.
