Birds and more

d81_151614e_023Along our walk today on the island, Thom showed me the nest of a heron in a tree over Nauyaug trail. The lighting was difficult but the subjects did not seem to care about our presence and did not move the entire time.

Later we were looking a one of the “tick” stations when a young deer suddenly popped his head up and stared at us.

Gray catbird

During our walk back past the pond, a catbird scolded us for no apparent reason.

Our visit to the osprey nest on Schoolhouse road yielded a reasonable documentary shot of the mother and a sibling. The sibling was seen flapping wings and could be ready to fly. The washed out presentation of the image is due to boosting exposure of a dark original.

Sunsets at the Parkton farm

d81_151574_018After the thunderstorms of last night (23rd), the sun caught the grain shed and the lower pasture at the farm. The steam can be seen rising above the freshly cut hay. These storms wrecked havoc across the mid-Atlantic and New England.

Gerry and Kathy’s fancy solar panels show nicely on the shed roof.

Later, the scalloped clouds showed up nicely as the sun set further.
