Yesterday (Nov 10), there was a good selection of waterbirds at Pontoosuc Lake in Pittsfield. Included were:
D. c. Cormorant 3 Great Blue Heron 1 Am. Coot 6-7 Am. Wigeon 1f Wood Duck 1f Green-winged Teal 2 Ring-necked Duck several dozen Greater Scaup 20-25 (I thought Greater) RUDDY Duck 1, possibly 2 f Hooded Merganser 75+ Common Merganser 40-50 Sadly, no sign of the previously reported Canvasback or the Redhead
Today Nov 11:
Redhead continues, in the company of 15-20 Ring-necked Ducks. Pressed for time, so didn't check out the ducks at the north end of the lake.
