Eurasian Wigeon in Quincy-YES, etc.

[Paul Peterson]

Lucky me to have been at the Souther Tide Mill area around 1:00 or 2:00 when John Baur and Kathy Rawdon were there. John noticed it coming from behind a mud bank and let me view it through his scope! This place is on the Southern Artery, behind the C.V.S. and opposite Goodwill and the Pet Center.
