    Awesome!!!! Do you use a scope?

    Out here by a pond in nj there is a small mixed flock of ducks hanging out.
    1 Hooded Merganzer 
    10ish ring necked ducks
    2 maybe 3 wood ducks cruising the edge.

    A nice treat to see.

    Last year I saw mad amounts of warblers. They are cool if you get lucky when they are cruising through. 



    I put my phone right up to my binoculars for these shots.  I have an attachment but forgot it so this was improvisation which was difficult but I got the shots.

    Hooded Merganser is one of my faves I saw this year.  Such a cool bird!

    this big black vulture was keeping me company while fishing. Good sign....right?

     "Make sure we're properly dead before you start ol rip-beak!"

    Seemed like maybe it was a fledgling. Went back and didn't see signs of it.

    Recently had two merlins hang out for a couple days while they were migrating through.  They kept battling a bunch of crows for territory in this tree outside my back porch.  The peregrines have a protected nesting area on the hill behind my apartment, though I've yet to see one in my 8 years living here.

    back in July I saw this tropical migrant. Scarlet Tanager. It was taking an ant bath. Tucking them under its wings. Nature blows my mind.
    Strikingly beautiful bird. Not unlike Larry.
