Day 16.221: Five go to East Point Sanctuary

This was on Thursday - Exile #3 made it five for a short trip to East Point. We didn't see much in the way of birds or other wildlife, but we had a fun visit.

This is most of the birds we saw - a loon, some preening ducks (scoters?), a cormorant and a gull

A few late-summer blooms

The whole gang

Wood Island Lighthouse with some help from a 450 mm lens

A little demonstration of using a zoom lens to make the background seem closer (can you see the lighthouse in the bottom [cellphone] shot?)
