While I waited for the ospreys to return to their nest, this guy showed up instead.

A family of buffleheads floated by during a walk along the Connecticut coast last week. Nearby was a trio of mergansers as well (see earlier post).

Our latest visit to southeastern Connecticut resulted in a number of rewarding bird sightings. We have seen common loons several times over the past couple months in the Fishers Island Sound. Here is one in their winter plumage.
