While waiting outside the Somewhere In Time restaurant in Old Mystic, CT, last week.
Suddenly there was a loud honking sounds that quickly increased in decibel. As the honking grew LOUDER, there appeared some geese. It was a sky full of Canada geese!
Meet the buffleheads of Poggy Bay
During our extended end of year weekend visit to CT, we found the usual variety of unexpected bird life during our walks around the island.
We found bufflehead ducks in abundance on Poggy Bay. This also occurred last winter. They go somewhere else during the summer. The mallards are almost everywhere, all year long and in every body of water around here. This one, image left, was alone on Poggy Bay. The black ducks (right image) were on the great marsh out behind Kimmie Ross’ house. We have a lucky photo of a red-shouldered hawk (in a later post) and probably a hooded merganser from over near the Enders Island, ID to be confirmed.
