A red-breasted merganser starts to get nervous as I linger by the shore in southeastern Connecticut last week.

Woodpecker on a leash
This hairy woodpecker looks as if he is on a leash but this is just an optical illusion.
Dont touch that boat
From the archive: a seagull watches over a dinghy during a foggy morning in March 1983 along the Connecticut coast. Originally, this image is from a slide transparency and only recently converted to digital (pardon the scratches).

Meet Sammy the seagull
Sammy is now a frequent guest on the back porch at a friend’s house.
Crow’s Perch
Homes
I have discovered these almost perfectly round holes in dead trees are the front doors of nests and homes of various birds like flickers and woodpeckers.

A male downy woodpecker gets ready for Spring on a cold Saturday morning.
Seven year dawn
The last day of 2006 dawned like this on the Connecticut coast. This image is the reward for waking up early, for having a steady hand, investing in nice photographic equipment, for parents who worked hard, sacrificed much, watched over you and let you go alone, sometimes at the same time.
Who called this meeting?
On the Connecticut coast last year; this was a post-Sandy day along a damaged shore. Perhaps this is what this group was discussing?
