We journeyed over to the pond this afternoon and was lucky to have a visitor drifting around with no apparent purpose. I suspect this loon wanted to make me mad by presenting a great potential image at the same time catching me with only my iPhone.
On a visit to the Ice pond yesterday, we encountered a frequent visitor, according to my brother, on the far side. This night heron has been hanging around for a while and I was lucky enough to catch it while it was investigating the algae filled pond.
We have made it to summer finally. The New England weather at the time of the solstice last week was quite Spring like. For example, forty-eight degrees (F) in the morning does not seem SummerTime. Eight-five degrees and humid, that’s more like it.
Last weekend while watching the action on a New Hampshire lake, I spotted a spotted sand piper perusing the beach in front of us.
When there are no birds to see, I search for other interesting sites. Every few days the air traffic inbound from Europe goes over our heads.
A blue heron investigates the boggy area near a stream feeding the Cobbosseecontee Pond.
From my game camera located at the edge of the beaver pond last week. This female is probably a common pintail according to my research; the more common species in our area are mallards and black ducks (there is the occasional hooded merganser, as well).
