The gull show at Turner's Falls has been very hit n' miss since Christmas. Yesterday, for example, I could only find one Herring Gull on the ice at Unity Park. This evening, however, small roosts developed at Unity Park and on the ice at the power canal. The group on the power canal attracted a smart third-cycle
Glaucous Gull, my first of the winter. Other than that, another great build up of diving ducks at dusk with some 100 Common Mergansers and 65+ Common Goldeneye. The female
Northern Shoveler continues to show well with a handful of Mallards.

At home in Northfield, lots of activity on the feeders including a White-throated Sparrow whilst a
Hermit Thrush was feeing on berries in the front yard early this morning.
More frigid weather in the forecast for tomorrow, apparently.
