Wachusett Reservoir (3/4)

Saturday afternoon I spent a little time hiking at Wachusett Reservoir. The woods were really quiet. Most of the water was covered with a thin sheet of ice so there were no water birds to be found. I did have a couple of Juncos, a Blue Jay, and a soaring Red Tail Hawk. They best sighting of the afternoon was a group of seven White Tail Deer. When they sensed me they all bolted up the road deeper into the woods. When I got to their original location (about 15 seconds later) I couldn't find any of them. Its simply amazing that all of those large animals can disappear so easily into the woods.
