Rainy day here, spending the day in, so I figured I'd get caught up once again!
The last two weeks have been quite nice even though we've been fighting the weather a bit, saw a record list of birds down at Venice yesterday--52 total species!, caught three loons in one night, got some sweet shots of dolphins at sunset, and made some new friends!
Got some photos from team 2a--thanks Lyman for sharing!
Caroline and Carol on our first cancelled night of fog, wind, and rain...too bad they were ready for the weather! |

Never a good idea to leave the loony bin with coffee and iphones.... |
