Boys Are Back In Town

Guess Who Got Back In Town Today?

Them Wild-Eyed Boys That Had Been Away

I see Cormorants all the time. I never knew they're eyes were this wild-eyed blue.

These birds, Double-Crested Cormorants, are common around almost all waterways here in the New England area. The darker ones are adults, in their breeding colours. The dull coloured ones are Juveniles in the first year. they don't have waterproof feathers, so, that move, where they stand with wings spread is their way of drying feathers after they dive for food, in the water.

Well, this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face. Man, we just fell about the place

I see them perch all along the river, getting out of the water, waiting for a few minutes before heading to a new spot to feed, dive and look, and who knows, maybe score? I guess the boys decided they had enough of preening and showing off. ...and left the dance floor?

It was only another moments before a new trio landed and used this perch. Most of the birds would stop, rest, and move along upstream to search for more food.

The day in total brought Wood Ducks, Mallards, Great Blue Herons, warblers including Pine, and Black and White Warblers, Grackles, Crows, Robins, Cardinals, Tree Swallows, Tufted Titmouse, RedBreasted Nutchatches, Canada Geese, A Red Tailed Hawk, and more...

Always, I strive to give back
To the animals and birds around me
to put more plants in than I take out
And be a good steward for the world around me!
