Got out on the Assabet River and Nashoba Brook in West Concord yesterday just a few days past the midpoint of meteorological winter. Water levels were up as a result of our recent rainstorm (gauge at Maynard 3.4') and Nashoba and Fort Pond brooks combined in making a generous contribution from Warner's Pond (opening photo and below)...
Open water was the rule for both the river and the brook. Ice was confined mostly to the sloughs and slower moving stretches such as this bit above Route 2...
Wildlife encountered included a pair of common goldeneye ducks...
...and this solitary hawk with a longish tail...
