Surrounded by blue water and soaked in it, an Osprey emerges from an unsuccessful dive. #birdphotography #birdsofmassachusetts

#BirdOfTheDay | #WingsOpenNotFlying | #Willet

For today's theme, my mind turned to the Willet which transforms from rather drab to uniquely beautiful when its wings are raised. #birdphotography #birdsofmassachusetts #allenspond

#BirdOfTheDay | #Seabirds | #AmericanHerringGull

From day two of a massive nor'easter, I present a photo from a previous storm where waves drove gulls off the beach. #birdphotography #birdsofmassachusetts

#BirdOfTheDay | #Mamas&Papas | #LongTailedDuck

On Christmas Day last year, these overwintering ducks were hanging out among a small flock. The drake in front has the distinctive long tail, behind which the hen is paddling. #birdphotography #birdsofmassachusetts

#BirdOfTheDay | #BirdBuddies | #blackbelliedplover & #commontern

I'm not sure these are buddies but they are definitely different species. A plover drops in on a tern. #birdphotography #birdsofmassachusetts #gooseberryisland
