Quincy and Hingham 2/20

From Glenn d'Entremont and Jane Zanichowsky:

On a bright and rather mild, but quite windy, day a hardy group birded parts of Quincy and Hingham. Waterfowl predominated over land birds. The walk began at Squantum Point Park, Quincy and ended at Bare Cove Park, Hingham.

Many thanks to Glenn d'Entremont for a stand-up job continuing the trip when I had to leave for a funeral.


H-Hingham, rest at Squantum unless noted.
