Block Island

I drove to Point Judith this AM and took the ferry to Block Island in hopes of seeing some unusual far-out-in-the-ocean type alcids, but no such luck.   It was a blazingly beautiful day, but about 10 degrees, and with the wind chill, below 0.  I thoroughly enjoyed my day on the ocean, met some very friendly people, and came home beyond tired.  Here are the resulting pictures, not anything new, but great sunshine.

The guaranteed sighting in every N.E. port of the Common Loon.
Look at that wonderful bill.

This may give you an idea of how cold it was.
