American Robin - Photograph

(Click on image to enlarge)

I took those photographs at Perry's Mill Pond in Fairfield, CT this past week.

Although normally the American Robin is my harbinger of Spring, it turns out a group of them actually remain in my general area year round. But they hang out closer to the shoreline, where it's a little warmer than inland. There was also what I think was a leucistic American Robin among this group, but I was unable to get a photo of it. Back in 2016, I had photographed a possible leucistic Robin in this general area.

Bald Eagle - Photograph

I took that photograph at Perry's Mill Pond in Fairfield, CT this past week.

Although it's hard to tell from that photograph, that is a Bald Eagle. I was like the cliche deer in the headlights when I spotted this bird in flight in the sky. It was doing a fly over, probably heading closer to the shoreline. I only managed to get one photo before he was gone. But what a thrill to see this beautiful bird, which is slowly making a comeback here in Connecticut! The pond here was frozen, so there was no fishing to be done.

Weird Sun Spot Motion Light Shaft Anomaly - Photograph

(Click on image to enlarge)

I took those photographs at Perry's Mill Pond in Fairfield, CT this past week.

I have no idea what that weird, sun spot in motion with a light shaft beaming down toward the ground anomaly is. Note that in the second photo, the "sun spot" is partially in front of the tree. I do not alter my photographs (unless I explicitly state that I have, which I think I've done only once, with a photo that was very dark, so I applied a filter to it, to enhance the contrasts).

The sun was toward the right side of those photographs, but higher up, and not within view of the camera when I took the photos. I did not observe anything at the time I took them, either. As with the other cases where I have captured anomalies, I can't explain what is seen in the above photographs. And as with the Dudley Town Anomaly photograph, the object in both of those photos is pure white (0xffffff), indicating saturation.

This is 1 of 2 posts of photographs that I took at Perry's Mill Pond in Fairfield, CT this past week.

These were long distance shots, so I didn't realize the Pied-Billed Grebe was in the second photo until I looked at them when I got home.

This is 3 of 4 posts of photographs that I took at Perry's Mill Pond in Fairfield, CT this past week.

This lone elusive Pied-billed Grebe was swimming and diving under the water while I was here. It was very hard to get a clean photograph of him. And despite it being Winter, he still has a partial bill ring and possibly a partial black chin.

The first photo is my entry for the following:
