April 7

The day started cold, windy but bright. Low tide meant that not much was going on. The thickets were very quiet and then out at the overlook I got to see a pair of shore birds that were probably yellow legs but the glare made it impossible to be sure. Over at the park it was a different story. Robins, starlings, doves, grackles and song sparrows were all over the place. I glimpsed something moving in these cedar trees and patiently waited. There was a small flock of waxwings feeding off the few remaining berries on the tree. They were very hard to spot in the thick foliage. This one bird peeked out for a while so I caught his portrait.

Ciao!
