Thursday, November 17, 2011
The fun never ends ! Since the last installment in the photo new bird species keep popping up. I photographed two new species in the yard !
The really fun stuff and some good photos were found up island in Menemsha and Squibnocket. Photographed seven Turkey vultures hovering over the Menemsha post office. ?????
I also got images of all three types of Scoters ( Ocean ducks), finally @!
A flock of Black Scoters flew by while I was photographing a Harlequin Duck. A second later a pair of Gannets flew by. Out on the rocks was a group oF Great Cormorants. In total I saw 6 new species in a week and a half . OUTSTANDING.
