Pintails VS the Wind
Filed Under Ducks, Winter 2010
These Northern Pintails fought hard against a strong wind a few days ago. At times they flew backwards as the wind overpowered their flapping.

Brrrrrrr!!
Filed Under Scenics, Sunrises and Sunsets, Winter 2010
The howling northwest winds gusted to 50 miles per hour and the temperature peaked at 26 degrees here in Lewes, Delaware today. I waded through 18 inches of frozen sea slush to get a photograph of sunset at Cape Henlopen tonight. It was brutally cold but this scene is rare here.

Jumping Pintails
Filed Under Ducks, Winter 2010
The wind was howling again tonight in the marsh as cold northerly wind pours in on the back sdie of the storm sitting off New England. Pintails were plentiful on the choppy water surface and jumped up every few minutes into the wind. These three photographs are from tonight just before sunset.
