When I visit my daughter in Massachusetts, I often try to go birding with Ginger at Cherry Hill Reservoir. We spent a few good hours on a chilly morning last Thursday. Here are a few of the waterfowl we saw.

There were also a number of Scaup – I’m calling them Lesser due to the rounded head.

Ruddy Ducks are often here, in large rafts, resting. They are delightful to watch as they dive and re-appear, usually farther away.

We had a great hike and saw 33 species. I’ll include more in the next post. Happy migration birding.
