Day 274 - a Year by the Sea

v_cormorants.jpg

The cormorants are moving south. This is only the first time that I had my camera with me this fall season when they flew by. Leaf color, air temperature and other details tell when summer moves on to fall but this is the big sign in the sky. It’s like a neon light display, the closest thing that the seasons do Las Vegas style. I had a big fright today. I was walking out to check on the coyote trap when a pheasant popped out onto the small game path in front of me and complained loudly about my presence. I was unnerved by the sudden shock of it. I had to catch my breath. The pheasant got the best of me in this encounter. I guess that it was payback for me surprising him earlier this year.

Ciao!
