I arrived here to get my target bird Gadwall. Two or three days prior, Jonathan Layman had posted them at the Amelia Earhart Dam-Draw Seven Park side. Since Draw Seven Park is closed due to construction, I went by the Winter Hill Yacht Club (W.H.Y.C.) across from the restaurant Tony C's. Within fifty seconds, I got the ducks-three beautiful adult males-right in front of me!!!. I then walked the length of Baxter Park and back, Quite a group:
Mute Swan 2
Gadwall 3 See Above
Common Goldeneye 2 with Gadwall
Bufflehead 7 with Gadwall
Red-breasted Merganser 6
American Coot 2
American Black Duck 5 Union Wharf
Common Merganser 8 Nashua Street Park
Common Loon 5 Boston Harbor Walk from Charlestown Bridge to Boston Haven Yacht Club

Surf Scoter 3 Charlestown Bridge; moving around Inner Harbor
