This past weekend we spent back in New Jersey taking care of some business and visiting family. Not being at home doesn't change my early morning routine, get up before 5 AM, get dressed, and get outside with a cup of coffee in hand.
On this early morning, I sat on the back deck of our son's house waiting for daybreak. Once it was light enough, I planned to visit the neighborhood where 
To my delight, my jaunt unexpectedly turned into a
#birdwatcher's photo shot.
When I first parked the car and headed to the shoreline, all of the birds headed off in the other direction.
They finally congregated in this area. I was able to capture this picture from the car.
As I exited the car in an attempt to get a little closer, they were off once again. The loons constantly changed their location as I approached.
Boy, did I get in a good walk,
following them around from one place to the next.
I was hoping to capture a photo of the Canadian geese, the Mallards, and the Loons all in the same picture,
but the Loons would have nothing to do with my approach.
Birds of a #feather fly swim together, even if their feathers are diverse.
