This is the record of what I could catch with my Canon D7 and 400 MM f5.6L on Star Island this past weekend. The blog preceding this (scroll down) was all about the island and its environment and the people involved. This will be mostly the birds, of which there were few, but very special.

| This is Kathy LLowiecki, waiting for our trip out. |
 |
| Common Tern in the dense fog. |
 |
We ran aground, and this wonderful lady came racing out to help, but we managed to back off.
|
 |
| Sat. AM, Tree Swallow. |
 |
| First Spotted Sandpiper of several seen. |
 |
| Cedar Waxwing |
 |
| Yellow Warbler, very common on island |
 |
| Black-throated Green Warbler |
 |
| Catbird |
 |
| Female Blackpole Warbler |
 |
Wilson's Warbler. I know, I know, it is poor, but it is the only picture I've gotten so far.
If you think this is poor, wait until you see the Guillemot! |
 |
| White Island Light |
 |
| The other often-seen warbler, the Common Yellowthroat |
 |
We are now on Appledore Island
Black-backed Gull chick. |
 |
| This was our transportation out to Appledore. |
 |
| Bonaparte's Gull |
 |
| Baltimore Oriole |
 |
| 2nd. Spotted Sandpiper |
 |
| And here is the Northern Watterthrush (first photo ever) |
 |
| Yellow Warbler |
 |
| Black-backed Gull Eggs |
 |
And here is that Black Guillemot photo. I include this because
Eric gave me such a hard time about it being
"some what of a picture" . But I think it was the only Alcid we saw
(which was disappointing). |
 |
| Sunday AM |
 |
| Tree Sparrow on the Art Barn |
 |
"I'm walkin', yes indeed,
I'm talkin' 'bout you and me,
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me!"

| Female American Redstart |
 |
| Family portrait |
 |
| "Johhhn?" "Marsha!" |
 |
| Barn Swallows |
 |
Bluets.
One of the first flowers I ever recognized,
as a teenager in Biology class,
Thanks to Donald Macleod.
May he
(and B.B.King)
rest in peace. |
