I checked the list posted at the ranger station of birds that had been spotted recently. There is only one of these that has been frequenting the park, so it was really lucky that we got to see it.
There are several different kinds of birds in this picture. How many can you find?
There was a fairly large flock of snow geese. Some would take off, fly around, then come back and land.
These are just a few of a fairly large flock of snow geese we saw.
The park has both snow and and great egrets. According to Wikipedia, the Great Egret is distinguished by the yellow bill and black legs.
We thought these were American Black Ducks, but this was incorrect. They are cormorants! How funny, I can identify cormorants in the air or drying their wings, but can't when they're just swimming in the water. (Maybe now I can?)
This shot doesn's show his shape as well, when he flew over the wings were definitely eagle. His head and tail are white, which is usually a bald eagle. The park hadn't found any Bald Eagles on the recent survey, so we must have just gotten lucky.
I thought the contract was interesting, a National Wildlife Refuge on the other side of the bay from Atlantic City.
We have seen these several times along the Atlantic Coast. I finally learned what they are from the signs along the road.
This fellow was right outside our RV Saturday morning. Of course, he refused to sit still for me to take a good picture. Maybe it's good enough to prove we saw him?
This fellow was just sitting out in the bay byOld Mystic Seaport.
These were all over the beach at Charlestown, RI.
This was in Fall River, MA - very close to Rhode Island
This was just down the hill from the Plimoth Plantation, 1627 village.
This was at the salt marshes near First Encounter Beach on Cape Cod, named because it was where the Pilgrims first encountered the Native Americans in 1620.
