7/3/04 -- Forbush Bird Club Trip, Wachusett Reservoir
On July 3, 2004, the Forbush Bird Club held a trip at Wachusett Reservoir. Francis X. McMenemy led 14 club members into Gates 35 in Sterling and 38 in Clinton as well as along route 140 in Boylston. The main theme of the trip was to observe Common Loon nesting sites and a Cooper's Hawk nest with young in it. Bruce deGraaf obtained this digital photo of a Loon family -- the chicks hatched June 28-29, on the raft in Clinton
