Quabbin Reservoir - Gate 10

4 of us braved the temps and walked the 4 1/2 mile trip into Gate 10 and back.  This trip was birdy in the beginning, but after 10:00ish it was quite quiet.  Interesting were 4 Guinea Fowl which we saw before we walked into the gate (on Rt 202) and when we returned they were under my car!  Missing were Red-breasted Nuthatch and Hermit Thrush.
