It was game-on in Barrington Cove this morning. Hunters (a father and son?) rowed to this point in the cove where they hoped to ambush some duckies. I shot them instead (with a camera of course).

A couple of baby Sparrows in the backyard birdhouse wait for mom’s return.

This Piping Plover was hit by some buckshot, or so it would have me believe. More like feigning a broken wing, as a diversionary tactic, because I must have been walking a little too close to its chicks. Eric and I actually saw the chicks yesterday. They looked like little brown cotton balls walking on tooth picks. Of course they hid, too well, when I returned with my camera today. I could not spot them for the life of me.

Another new bird for the collection. I spotted, more like heard, this little yellow bird during a walk along the bike path.

An accommodating Red-winged blackbird waits while I get him in focus, which wasn’t easy considering how the wind was swaying him back and forth, in and out of focus. I took this shot this morning at Brickyard Pond.
