Tuesday’s Trivia

 

Hi Y’all!

P1170751

Remember the birds that I showed you awhile back?  The cormorants and seagulls that blackened the water, following the bait fish as they fled feeding stripers?

This was yesterday…

P1180232

P1180231

Then I noticed something strange…a new bird…

P1180240

P1180253

“Human”, I said.  “Those aren’t seagulls!” 

 

P1180254

 

Most of you along the gulf coast should recognize these birds.  Also those of you in the midwest on or near fresh water lakes will recognize them.  We’re on the east coast and, if we’re lucky, might catch sight of a group flying overhead migrating inland to their breeding grounds. 

 P1180268

Look closely at the bird in the above picture and you’ll see the black tips on the ends of his wings.

 

P1180265

Stay tuned tomorrow!  I saw something to really get Freighter, Storm and Thunder excited!

P1180090

Y’all come back now!
