Late Sunday morning, on Lake Whalom in Lunenburg, were 60 Canada Geese, 3 Greater White-fronted Geese, 1 Ruddy Duck, 2 dozen Mallard and 6 American Black Ducks. Whalom Lake is a great spot to observe roosting waterfowl and gulls at dusk, particularly once the surrounding lakes and ponds have frozen over, a little later in the season.

| The 3 Greater-white Fronted a bit closer, the greenland race I presume as the bills were orangish to my eye. |
On Shirley Lake in Lunenburg were ~450 Canada Geese, 1 Snow Goose, 125 Mallards, 10 American Black Ducks, 16 Ruddy Ducks, 125 Hooded Mergansers, 60 Common Mergansers.

| A portion of the goose flock, there was one Canada Goose. |
Eastern Bluebirds showed nicely at our feeders in Westminster today and I heard an Evening Grosbeak during an early afternoon walk near the center of town.
