    I’m not much for selfies or photos of myself - p I’m not much for selfies or photos of myself - probably because after a certain age it just gets harder and harder to look the way we remember. But tonight is my last night in Bermuda and that’s a small milestone since I haven’t been here for about 25 years!! It’s been so much fun spending time here over the last week and it’s felt so safe . Bermuda is one of the safest worldwide destinations in our #covidworld. I was nervous about going, but am so glad I did. And after 3 Covid negative tests I could finally relax and gain a bit of a breather, at least for a while. . . . . . . #Bermuda #travelohotographer #covidlife #mainephotographer #iphone11 #covidvacation #fiftyandfabulous #lemko #carpathorusyn

    Red Tailed Hawk, 8.6.20 Cape Elizabeth, Maine ©20 Red Tailed Hawk, 8.6.20 Cape Elizabeth, Maine ©2020, sarah beard buckley "This is probably the most common hawk in North America. If you’ve got sharp eyes you’ll see several individuals on almost any long car ride, anywhere. Red-tailed Hawks soar above open fields, slowly turning circles on their broad, rounded wings. Other times you’ll see them atop telephone poles, eyes fixed on the ground to catch the movements of a vole or a rabbit, or simply waiting out cold weather before climbing a thermal updraft into the sky. Birds are amazingly adapted for life in the air. The Red-tailed Hawk is one of the largest birds you’ll see in North America, yet even the biggest females weigh in at only about 3 pounds. A similar-sized small dog might weigh 10 times that."

    Willet Scarborough, Maine 6.1.2020 ©2020, sarah Willet Scarborough, Maine 6.1.2020 ©2020, sarah beard buckley "Piercing calls and distinctive wing markings make the otherwise subdued Willet one of our most conspicuous large shorebirds. Whether in mottled brown breeding plumage or gray winter colors, Willets in flight reveal a bold white and black stripe running the length of each wing. These long-legged, straight-billed shorebirds feed along beaches, mudflats, and rocky shores. Willets are common on most of our coastline—learn to recognize them and they’ll make a useful stepping-stone to identifying other shorebirds. Migration Short- to long-distance nocturnal migrant. Western birds leave coastal wintering grounds from March–May. Eastern birds move north starting in March, arriving on the breeding grounds April–May. Willets leave their breeding sites as early as June, among the earliest departures of any North American sandpiper."

    Common Tern on a Foggy Morning South Portland, ME Common Tern on a Foggy Morning South Portland, ME 5.26.2020 ©2020, sarah beard buckley "Common Terns gracefully row through the sky showing off their long angular wings, and breeding season gray belly, black cap, and red bill. They dive towards the water picking off fish just below the surface. The Common Tern is the most widespread tern in North America, spending its winters as far south as Argentina and Chile. They are social birds, foraging in groups and nesting on the ground in colonies. Like other terns, Common Terns aren't shy. They boisterously fly over open waters and rest out in the open, often perching on shorelines, boats, and piers. But Common Terns aren't just a coastal bird, they can also be found inland on freshwater lakes during the summer months, though they stick to coastal saltwater areas more frequently than similar-looking Forster's Terns. Although they tend to be rather obvious, they do hide among other similar looking terns. Migration Long-distant migrant. North American birds spend the winter in South America or along the Pacific Coast of Central America. One-year-old birds often stay on the wintering grounds and do not migrate to the breeding grounds until they are 2 years old."
