Fall Migration
Flocks of birds: Two new black and white prints
I just added two new prints to the bird art print collection titled Fall Migration No. 1 and 2. I was photographing at Wingaersheek beach in Gloucester, MA on a foggy, overcast fall afternoon when large flocks of birds came flying overhead. I loved the formations of the flocks, as well as the silhouette of each bird against the colorless sky – it was like an art installation by nature.
The birds turned out to be cormorants, double-crested cormorants to be specific. They migrate south for the winter and the cormorants you see up here during the colder months are great cormorants. I love watching them both fish and sit and dry their wings, but I don’t know if I had seen them during migration before this. I actually didn’t even know they migrate since you see cormorants year round here, and I had just assumed it was the same kind. So it was a cool sight and a great learning experience too.

PS. Did you know that a flock of cormorants is called a gulp?
