On our recent patrol to the far bog we saw a number of birds we haven’t seen most of the summer. The goldfinches were prominent.

Cormorant on Pleasant Pond
Beaver on Potters Brook
On a late afternoon bird photo mission, I managed to catch a solitary beaver investigating the edge of the marsh along Potters Brook.
Turkies on the field
On a mid-afternoon walk in the backwoods, as we passed an out-of-production hayfield, a whole family-plus-neighbors waddled slowly away from us.
Goldfinches at the far bog
During a mid-day trip along the far-bog several weeks ago, the goldfinches were busy having a meeting. I am not sure this constitutes sufficient distancing.
Birches on No-name Pond
Mid-morning nap
Along the edge of Woodbury Pond, a black duck enjoys a quiet morning.
Summer cruising
A pair of ducks swam back and forth on Woodbury Pond yesterday. Others rested along the shore.
Black ducks resting
This pair of black ducks rested on a log while we slowly approached. Others were swimming around sampling vegetation from the shallow part of the lake.
