Shore Birds

Osprey with fish
Joan and I traveled to Connecticut to spend times with friends Gary and Kim Amatrudo photographing Shore Birds.  They chauffeured us around and we had the opportunity to see many species of birds even though it was a cold and windy weekend.  I added a life bird to my list-Little Blue Heron.

Immature Great Horned Owls

We have had Great Horned Owls near us for years.  I shared photos of an adult last August.  We looked this winter for the owls and their nest and were not successful.  This past week we saw one of the adults and heard the young bill snapping.  Later that evening I went back out and found two young ones. 



Until next time
