As will be obvious from this week’s posts, we found a number of egrets anywhere we went along the Connecticut shore last weekend. Here was a casual wader near the yacht club.
Egret at the club
Sandpiper at the post
As we walked the island last weekend in search of big birds, we had a lucky visit from a spotted sandpiper at the Poggy Bay boat dock.
Egret on Poggy Bay
We found egrets everywhere during last weekend’s visit to the Connecticut shoreline. Here was one investigating the Poggy Bay marsh.
Egret at the marsh
During our recent visit to the osprey nest (see previous here), we passed by an egret standing along the marsh shore. Then it flew away past us.
NH loon
After multiple dives, the loon that visited our portion of the shoreline gave us this sideways glance as it departed to the center of the lake during our recent New Hampshire trip.
Cormorant on the way out
Caught this cormorant bugging out from the local pond yesterday.
Loon on alert
From several weeks ago while encamped on the shores of Lake Contoocook in southern New Hampshire.
Mom says go away
On our annual visit to the nest on Schoolhouse road, we found a mother osprey keeping two chicks down low, out of sight. Come on, Mom! You could make them famous!
