Too cold!?!?!

[Capt. Brian Rhodes]

Well the boys from down south didn't think so, and neither did the eider!

Hasn't been the warmest here the last few days. Despite getting a truck stuck and having to shovel a little snow, we had a couple real good days this past week.

Also had a cool decoy sent to me by a friend, Justin Harrison, he is doing a little project with 9 'traveling' decoys. Feel free to check out his blog for more info on that.

Hard to believe there is only one week left of the RI season.

Here's a few pics from the past couple days. Not the best light, but I worked with what I had!

Thanks.

Thanks for the pictures! I just wanted to say how much I enjoy all your photos. They make me feel like I'm there and wish I was.

This AM I drove by 2nd & 3rd Beach in Middletown RI with binoculars. There were eiders along the rocks at the surfers beach at 2nd Beach.

Took a drive to Colts Neck State Park this weekend. Saw a couple large rafts of ducks between the neck & downtown Bristol. Did not seem big enough to be eiders.

Field hunting on a pasture in Portsmouth on Saturday morning was fun. With white coveralls on seemed like the geese had no clue we were there.

Very nice, Brian. I like the way you caught that fourth to the last shot.

Glad you enjoy the pics guys.

These shots were taken with a Canon 1 D Mark IIn, witha 100-400 lens. With a faster enough shutter speed you can 'stop' the shot. You just have to get lucky!
