I took those photographs at Southport Beach in Fairfield, CT this past week.

This helicopter first caught my attention when I heard it. When I looked at it, it looked a little unusual. It was very dark, like a charcoal grey or black. I think the wheels were retracted into the body, like an airplane, but I could be wrong. It had two four-bladed rotors (one large main one, and a smaller vertical mounted one on the tail). It also had two objects, one on each side, as well as a few other smaller objects, mounted on it. Any helicopter type identifications are welcome.

I took this photograph at Burying Hill Beach in Westport CT the other day. I was practicing my photographs of birds in flight when this helicopter came flying by and I managed to get one clean shot.
