Good Day

My dad and me went to western mass. We tried to find a Redhead Duck. But we didn't find it. There were so many bald eagles there scaring them. When we were driving then we stopped again then we find the Long-tailed Duck and it was a lifer for me. Then we tried to get the Eastern Meadowlarks. We couldnt find them at first but we kept looking and I found by myself in a tree some Cedar Waxwings! Dad would of missed them! A year bird! We heard Eastern Bluebirds as well. Then my dad finally saw the meadowlarks. A lifer! We then went over to a big river (Connecticut) and my dad showed me through our scope a Northern Pintail and some other cool ducks! Then we went to grammies for a Super Bowl party!
