Canvasback - long staying male, Barton Cove, Gill, Franklin Co., MA. April 1st, 2014.
Despite a much milder weekend with some south in the wind, relatively little changed at Barton Cove and the remarkable show of diving ducks continued unabated - Long-tailed Ducks, Canvasback, Red-breasted Merganser (displaying!) have all been present among the 140 Ring-necked Ducks with Greater and Lesser Scaups, Common and Hooded Mergansers and lots of Common Goldeneye. Gull numbers definitely seem to be dwindling as might be expected in late March but the fine show of Kumlien's Iceland Gulls continues with up five present through to the last day of March.
