To start the summer we found a heron waiting for his picture to be taken (her?) near Annabessacook Lake in central Maine.

Gull on watch
During a mid-winter walk at the Gardiner (Maine) Landing, a few gulls were hanging, or standing, along the river front.
Merganser line-up
During our long weekend visit to the Mystic area, we found numerous hooded mergansers in many locations.

Then it flew away
Once the creature notices your presence, the action part of the story begins. Thank goodness for auto-focus. This bird simply flew across the Ice Pond to the other side, just far enough to command a presence and diminish photographic quality.
Heron at the pond, again
During our lucky weekend in Connecticut, we caught this heron on the shore of the north edge of the Ice pond. Is it the same one we posted yesterday, or not?
Heron to the left of us
On a walk by the Ice Pond this weekend, we finally lucked out with one of the local herons.
Egret at the post
Earlier this year on a visit to the Connecticut shore, we were able to approach this pole sitter and get the shot.
