Jokulsarlon (Glacier) Lagoon, Iceland; SEP 2017
A few more birds, mostly from 2019; the Herring Gull is from Iceland in 2017.
The icebergs at Jokulsarlon are a magnificent site to behold. But I became fascinated by the life around them. Birds soared through them, presumably hunting. I am sure there were bird noises as well as people noises, but I don’t remember any. I was in a zone of quiet concentration.
My normal encounter with Brewer’s Blackbirds is in the parking lot of fast food restaurants and supermarkets. They are opportunistic hunters. It was nice to observe them in more natural environments.
