May one moon

While out on our afterwork walk around the bog, we noticed the moon rising in the south above the bog. It was at 3o degrees or more above the horizon and this was too high to get a reasonable compositional shot: the moon, alone in the sky around six pm, is boring.

After continuing on, I glanced up and saw a Europe-bound airliner heading at the moon! Ditch the glasses, ditch the lens cover, aim, focus. Take shots. Try to get a better shot with trees or branches to frame the moon-jet subject. Not much luck. But, a neat shot, I think.

Ice pond watching

We had a very successful visit to the ice pond :

There were a nice variety of birds at the pond; above are two mallards, maybe. Blur your vision and see a pair of F-15s in formation.
Below is a canada goose which saw fit to steam at us while we sat along the shore.

Below is one of the seagulls zooming by on their own particular mission.

Previously, we posted images of the cormorants grabbing stuff out of the pond….and here is another cormorant hard at work.
