This place straddles the Randolph-Braintree border.I birded this very large, peaceful place yesterday from 3:10-7:00p.m. I walked around the entire southern half, including the dike. Things really got cooking towards the end. That's when I was looking at a line of six Gadwalls with my bins while an adult BALD EAGLE was walking along the shore behind them, AND a Barred Owl was calling from the woods. This happened around 6:05 p.m.
