Quabbin Eagles / Many Tracks

A beautiful bright morning hiking a favorite NE Gate. Not to often I see three  eagles on a morning hike. Reaching the frozen reservoir a pair ( shown above ) flew off into the distance. On the hike back to the truck a single adult eagle flew overhead.

Coyote tracks wandering across the ice

Deer are moving using the same trails,

Also tracks of several moose. Food being scarce this time of year, it was good to see the many tracks suggesting the deer and moose are moving to feed and avoiding predators.

Quabbin has a number of vantage points which provide nice views of the reservoir. Several of these lookouts can be reached with a car. Most will require more effort requiring hiking. To reach these lookouts make for a nice day in " The Quabbin Woods"
