Next big thing to look forward to will be the Audubon Christmas counts in December. Until then, I just plan to stick to the basics.

Lost In An Ocean Of Birding
I haven't gotten out that much this month and have been kind of aimless when I did. I was hoping to find a particular species when I visited Hammonasset but it was one of those-"You should have been here yesterday" scenarios. In other news: Hammonasset means "where we dig holes in the ground" in the Algonquian language.
I was actually looking for winter ducks at a pond when this Belted Kingfisher got in my way so I took his photo gave him a bit of a haircut while I was at it. There was well over 100 Ruddy Ducks in the pond that day.

I was lucky enough to see a Belted Kingfisher this week too, I didn't get a shot of him but I sure admired him!
They are unique looking birds. They also seem to know when you're reaching for your camera!
