GRAY AND GLOOMY

Got out for a while, low tide, birds should have been in the saltmarsh but weren't.

I found an Anhinga so stuffed with fish it couldn't swallow the last one, watched an Osprey catch a fish and carry it to a light pole, and then I found a democrat rally going on at the Publix dumpster enclosure.

Anhinga, Anhinga anhinga

Anhinga, Anhinga anhinga

Osprey, Pandion haliaetus

Black vulture, Coragyps atratus

That was my first thought. Even if he did find room for that last fish he’d be too bottom heavy to fly, lol.

Great pictures, as always.

They’ve got small wings for their size anyway, it’s amazing they fly at all.

Fantastic pictures, thank you! Grey and gloomy worked out pretty well, subject-wise. :)

What a nice set of photos.

The comments tonight are priceless.

Some in the convention seats did resemble vultures...didn’t they?

Thanks for the ping and beautiful pictures, not to mention the demorat joke. Really needed a laugh today.

I am seeing an increase in hummingbirds here in southern WI. I assume they are heading south in preparation for winter and they find my petunia baskets and hummingbird feeder attractive as they migrate. Little jewels that they are, they are fascinating no matter how often I see them.

Cheers
