Observation details

We saw this bird feeding on the river between an island and the mainland along Rt 201 before noon.We were boating on the river this morning with some friends and this bird literally seemed to drop from the sky and begin feeding on the river. The boat and people clicking camera didn't phase it one bit. And this is a life bird for me! Photo & Video Sharing by SmugMug Photo & Video Sharing by SmugMug
