    They're back!

    I just took the dogs down for a walk to the bay and I was amazed at the amount and different types of birds I saw.

    In the span of an hour I saw:

    -Canada Geese (kicking myself for not having my shotgun.)
    -buffleheads
    -golden eyes
    -mallards
    -widgeon
    -green wing teal
    -pintail
    -swans
    -eagles
    -otter

    excellent shot of the otter.
    I'm just here to provide moral support......Hey nice (insert animal here)congrats.

    In memory of you dad..."you always leave a campsite cleaner then when you found it"

    There's only one thing in life that constitutes insanity..... continuing to do the same thing you have been doing but expecting different results.

    Excellent photography Mark.
    Saw 3 robins in Princeton on Friday. Spring is definately in the air.
    It's only when you see a mosquito land on your testicles that you realize there are other ways to deal with problems than violence.

    Re: They're back!

    I decided to leave the camera home this afternoon and bring the bino's instead and now I wish I hadn't. I saw some nice ducks and had some cool picture I could have taken. This time I went between 4:30pm and 6:00pm. Here are the species of birds I saw. The tide was the lowest I ever recall seeing it.

    -hooded Mergansers
    -red breasted Mergansers
    -bluebills( 2 drakes and 4 females)
    -buffleheads
    -50 or more green wing teal
    -mallards
    -pintail
    -widgeon
    -golden eye ( some nice full plumage drakes)
    -Canada Geese
    -Swans
