Great Icy Meadows


Great Meadows in Concord is pretty much iced over. The clear areas are full of coots and Canada geese (many more geese in the field across the river). There are still a few marsh wrens chattering away in the cat-tails and many song sparrows, who don't seem to be bothered by the ice at all.

The highlight of the walk was the sudden appearance of a northern harrier that exploded from the reeds and skimmed along the trail (a bounty of shrews this time of year).
