Linking up with NF Winged and Skywatch Friday
I took a lot of photos this past weekend during our getaway to Ocean City, Maryland.
This is a Cormorant sky. I had to edit this post after I found out one of my Cormorants is a lifer "The Great Cormorant". It is the one with white feathers around it face and head. Some of my facebook friends noticed the difference on my Cormorants. Thanks to Linda and Arlene!
The bridge at the Indian River inlet and some cool cloud formations.
I am pretty sure this is a Red-breasted Merganser. The lighting was not the greatest and with the tide changing and the waves it was hard focusing on this bird.
Surfers catching the waves. Love all the blues, the water and the pretty blue sky. It was a great weekend.
After dinner at the Crabcake Factory which was delicious by the way, we watched the sunset over the bay.
The sunset and a few ducks hanging out on the bay. Zooming in I saw that the ducks were Buffleheads.
I love the colors and the pretty reflection on the water. I hope you enjoyed my Ocean City skies and birds.
