Day 3 of the GBBC, with cloudy/cold/windy conditions in Erie County, PA. Despite bad weather (cold + on/off lake-effect snow squalls), lots of bird activity at Presque Isle State Park yesterday, esp. on Presque Isle Bay. While waiting on photo editing, had a great time last weekend watching this lovely GBH in ‘foraging/predation mode’ behavior (i.e., fishing) @ Thompson Bay:
When actively fishing, as here, GBH seem much less likely to startle/depart. Hence the lengthy set of reasonably-close photos.
