Subject: [MASSBIRD] Waterfowl Nov 10 Pittsfield, and 11th Whiting Street Res, Holyoke
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.
