October 9, 2014: Back in October I started using Gus’ Nikon D90. I took it along with me to volunteer at the Friends of Merrymeeting Bay office. When I was done I walked to the edge of the Cathance River at Mailly Waterfront Park in Bowdoinham, Maine. A cold wind was blowing in off the water and with the sinking sun, there were few birds. But the autumn scenery was beautiful and I did follow the rattle call of a Belted Kingfisher until I found the bird.
I drove over this bridge on my way there and my way back home again.
The Cathance River is one of the five rivers that flow into Merrymeeting Bay.
I like places like this where I can stop briefly and do a bird count, but I have not been back up this way since the day I was here, and no one else has counted birds here yet. Perhaps I will get a chance to visit here again next year.
You do get some lovely colours and scenes in your walks and drives. Remember days like this when you're recovering. Well done in capturing the flying Kingfisher too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Happy Wanderer. I will remember this and many other birding adventures!
DeleteThe Kingfisher is one of my many favorite birds.. Looks like a pretty spot for birding..Have a great day and happy birding.
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen!
DeleteBeautiful colours and reflections. Have a great Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret!
DeleteI like the mood of the lighting and blend of colors. Belted kingfishers drive me crazy.One minute they're perched on a branch out in the open but immediately take off when I touch my camera.
ReplyDeleteLarry, I know! They are very skittish!
