You are doing wonders to go out in such conditions to count and photograph the birds.Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08940828763843098232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-75207819918667883062015-02-21T14:23:16.749-05:002015-02-21T14:23:16.749-05:00Kathie, you have no idea how excited I get when I ...Kathie, you have no idea how excited I get when I see pictures of the sea with snow in the background and birds in the foreground. Water adds so much unique bird life to the dull winter landscape. We get to experience this in Duluth and along the North Shore of Lake Superior--such good ducks and gulls show up in the winter. I absolutely love birding the big water this time of year because of them.<br /><br />Those drake Common Eiders are simply spectacular as is that Long-tailed Duck. Astonishing waterfowl! And that lobster buoy photo is incredibly fun.

Good on you for braving the conditions to get those lovely shots and adding species to your Knox County list. <br />Long-tailed Duck is one of my favourites but not often seen around the south coast in winter. <br /><br />BTW my year tally is now 101 having visited a coastal marsh last weekend in far better weather than you are experiencing (see most recent post).FABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185823702988992159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-3246712063363143052015-02-20T15:14:05.767-05:002015-02-20T15:14:05.767-05:00Not even snow and cold weather is stopping you now...Not even snow and cold weather is stopping you now Kathie.{:)) <br />It still looking very wintery.Roy Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054701497328213666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773600389646021892.post-63327867289622194042015-02-20T13:39:55.994-05:002015-02-20T13:39:55.994-05:00Hi Kathie, I am glad you are able to get out and d...Hi Kathie, I am glad you are able to get out and do some birding.

If you tune in tomorrow you will see them moving. Love the shot with the colourful buoys. your shots of the GBB gull looks more like our lesser Black backed gull in colour. Loved all the birds you found in the harbour especially the Diver and L T duck.Margaret Birding For Pleasurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00400663056547331997noreply@blogger.com
