It was a good day for bird sightings, and a middling day for bird photography. There were lots of common eiders - mostly pairs - either flying or swimming:
Other birds caught as they flew by were a double-crested cormorant, an American oystercatcher and a common tern:
Spotted perching were a barn swallow, a gray catbird - showing a nice glimpse of chestnut and a song sparrow that was drawing a lot of attention with - you guessed it - a song:
I also saw a common yellowthroat, but he was camera shy. Last but not least (by size anyway), this "bird" seen through the heat haze:
You will not be surprised to hear that I am always pleased to see your bird pictures. Common Eiders which we saw again in Iceland last year are very special.
ReplyDeleteNot surprised at all - but pleased that you are pleased! There are more to come from our Monday morning outing.
