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.
Last weekend while watching the action on a New Hampshire lake, I spotted a spotted sand piper perusing the beach in front of us.

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).
During a walk down toward Enders Island last weekend on the Connecticut coast, the ocean side marsh had a multitude of redwing blackbirds foraging for food.
The osprey shown in the previous post lands on the remnants of last year’s nest. There is much work to be done.
As Spring is now here, we have had a chance to visit the Connecticut coast this week. The osprey nest is now being checked out for use this year.
