Black ducks in the marsh
A small gang of black ducks (most likely) were quietly encamped in the middle of the (so-called) great or grand marsh on a Sunday in December.
Shaking like a hawk
At a turn in the road, we spotted this hawk hanging about. It was overcast and this limited my modest abilities at identification, but I knew it was a hawk! Looks like a red-shouldered hawk that has seen better days.
A bunch of buffleheads
From an ocean side bay in Connecticut today.
A view of an egret
After some slow motion creeping along the shore, we got a reasonable image of a great egret at mid-day along the Mystic river last September.
A cormorant at the beach
