Getting ready to fly south?

Just a small portion of a huge flock. We can only assume they're getting ready to migrate for the coming winter.

I sure do shoot a lot of birds.

Cape Cod's Got Talent

I was sitting quietly on the rocks at the breakwater by the canal watching the people fishing and the terns diving, and this little guy came up pretty close and let me take a picture. He also flew into a nearby tree and sang a little bit while he posed there for me as well.

Look out behind you!

Looks ominous, but he was just landing on the rock right behind the other one.

"Take a picture of me"

A couple weeks ago, we were walking along the Cape Cod Canal. Seeing my camera, he thought I was possibly a news photographer and said "hey, take a picture of me". Kicking back after a morning of fishing, Kevin was "watching the water". He lives near the canal and so he fishes there often (daily I think). He said get there earlier in the morning if we want to see fish being caught.

14K - bragging

Entered this photo in a Fotki photo contest. These are just fun contests with no prizes or money, just bragging rights.

Anyway, my "14K" photo was #13 out of 95. Yaay!

My son Jason has ID'd this as a Merganser. There were a few in the canal and I heard someone say they only show up there in the winter.

Sparrow in the snow

Stopped at the canal by the railroad bridge this week for the first time in a long time. They had the area closed down for most or all of the summer to redo the parking lot. I can't wait to start going there again. This time was just a short visit because I didn't have much time, plus it was soooooo much colder near the water.
