Lots Of Activity Today

Even though Quabbin opened today for the 2017 fishing season with boats everywhere, bird activity was abundant.  A distant loon yodeling this morning made for a perfect start of the day. It flew by a good distance from me ( cover pic cropped and lightened ) you can see that is does not have any bands.
Wish I could be around when the resident loon returns and finds a stranger in the neighborhood !

 A very distant immature eagle made an attempt for breakfast.

A Palm Warbler watches over a swamp looking for a mate.

I have put out all of my trail cameras.  Many things learned from last year. Can't wait to see what happens this year ! The biggest change will be the frequency with checking them. Last year was weekly. My plan is to leave them out at least 4 weeks before checking . Stay tuned !
