It was a relatively quiet, chilly morning on the Mystic Lakes, highlighted by a drake Black Scoter flying up and down both lakes several times. Its's possible there was more than one, but we had multiple sightings going from lower to upper and vice versa. The Great Egret and long present Spotted Sandpiper (juvenile) were not seen this morning. A juvenile male Cooper's hawk was seen harassing several Ring-billed Gulls, and both eagles made relatively brief appearances. Best,Paul Paul M. Roberts Medford, MA <phawk254...>
