I had a function to attend in Cambridge today, so I stopped briefly at Dillon.  Except for a narrow ribbon of open water essentially following the flow of the river through the reservoir, it is frozen solid.  Among the 150 or so Canadas resting on the ice, I spotted a single 

blue-phase snow goose.  

Otherwise, a couple of singing 

song sparrows, a single 
cardinal, and a few 
starlings were the only avian life seen.  Driving back through, even the song sparrows and Canadas had disappeared, but I did see a 

gull sp, 

not well enough to ID.  Disappointing day for birding, but a pleasant drive in the sunshine.
