Gus and I took a ride out to Revere Beach on November 21 just to see what we could see. there were not a lot of birds there other than seagulls and the wind was biting cold, but I was happy we went. Little did I know that counting birds in revere would add a new county to my list of counties I have counted birds in! Revere is in Suffolk county and I counted only 6 species of birds here:
- Great Black-backed Gull
- Herring Gull
- Ring-billed gull
- White-winged scoter
- Rock pigeon
- European Starling
There were many more scoters out on the water but it was too cold for me to get too close and I do not have a spotting scope! I took photos but everything is just a black dot. This one obliging bird was the closest in. Not a great photo but you can at least see what it is.
Kathie, you do get around! Lovely light in your photos.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are having a good, if cold, time.
Love the colors in that second photo. Nice contrast between beach, water, and roofs.
ReplyDeleteI love going to the beach in the winter especially when you don't have to share it with anyone but the birds :)
ReplyDeleteThis beach does have the look of a cold winter day. But I believe you'd find birds anywhere you went Kathie.
