The Drumlin

[urbpan]

The place I work is named after a Drumlin, a rounded hill left by the glaciers. These are some pictures of and from that hill.





This rock--a glacial erratic--prevents the shrub from being mowed down.



Birders often come to the drumlin during fall migration and other times, to see hawks soar by.



Surprisingly, the drumlin is one of the highest elevations in our area--eastern Massachusetts being a pretty low place. To the west we can see the Worcester hills. This mountain is either Modadnock or Wachusett.
