About a dozen bird watchers showed up at 8 AM on a cold blustery morning of November 9 to see what could be found at and around the Arlington Reservoir.  The walk was led by local birding expert Chris Floyd. We saw quite a few land and shore birds as well as a hawk.  One find was the American Black Duck who posed on a rock for us.  Full details can be found in the following eBird links.

After about two hours we finished up as a somewhat smaller group at LexFarm.
