Bird-O-Rama


My photos do not come close to capturing the beauty of the birds placidly riding the waves in between fishing forays. Pelicans, gulls, terns, cormorants, grebes all bobbing and dipping and diving together.


In addition, I'm happy to report that a few buffleheads have appeared in our portion of the marina. They're just as striking as the photo (from Wikipedia), and in shape, bear a resemblance to bathtub tug boats. My mom calls them her ships. Which can be a little confusing since she also talks a lot about the boats that come and go in the marina.

Such a remarkably peaceful landscape --

I've only recently become a birder of sorts. We are surrounded by watery deltas here and this is a major fly-over for many migrating birds. It is so peaceful yet exciting to out in it all. Love the photos.
