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.

Winter weather has returned to Delaware with strong northerly winds today. These Northern Pintails were feeding in the marsh in preparation for a long, cold windy night. In the top photograph the hen may be saying ‘See ya’ as she jumps up from her small group.
This adult Hooded Merganser was photographed a while ago, but I thought he was worth showing off again.
