eBird Report - Mill St., Dover, MA (Charles River), 2/1/10 - Barrow's Goldeneye: NO

Location:     Mill St., Dover, MA (Charles River)
Observation date:     2/1/10
Notes:     As you can see from the 0 on the Barrow's, that particular bird was my target species. I am assuming the Goldeneyes were farther downstream on the Charles or were busy diving. But at least I was able to see Hooded Mergansers, one of my favorite birds! On a side note, while I was driving back to Littleton via 4/225 in Carlisle, a pair of Eastern Bluebirds flew over the hood of my Corolla (don't worry folks, its safe to drive, the VIN starts with JT). Maybe others will have luck seeing the Barrow's! Good birding to all!
