Fourteen birders gathered for a quiet day of birding amid the beautiful surroundings of Quabbin.  What we lacked in perching birds (having only 1 Chipping Sparrow, although a White-throated sang for us) we made up with the big guns.  A nice flock of Turkeys on the Winsor Dam, 3 Eagles (in varying ages), 2 Pileated Woodpeckers, 3 Common Loons and a Belted Kingfisher were within close view for observations.  For the new birders it was a good introduction to spotting birds and for all of us, a nice walk on a pleasant fall day.
