In southeast Connecticut, the hummingbirds are still busy at the feeder. Up in Maine, we have not seen them in at least a week. The annual migration may have begun.

Drying of the wings
A cormorant dries its wings after a rainy morning along the Connecticut coast. This is a typical behavior of the species; they do spend much time cruising on and below the ocean surface but other birds that spend a lot of time in the water do not seem to dry out the same way.
