A small part of a flock paddling alongside a beach. The first ones I'd seen all winter and spring, but another birder I met there complained she was tired of seeing them and was ready for them to migrate north already. She wants warblers.

"Wow" was one of the words I used to describe this scene as I stood there shooting some pictures. This is the Brant elevator with an amazing sunset happening behind it on June 1, 2021.
All along the Atlantic coast you can find wintering seabirds, shorebirds and waterfowl. And the jetty at Barnegat Light, NJ is typically a great spot to get close to them. Later in the season, the Harlequin ducks will even climb onto the rocks. The activity was a bit light this week, but I did see a number of loons, shorebirds, Brant geese and Common Eiders. On Thursday evening a small group of Brants had been swimming in the water just below the lighthouse. The rich blue of the water beautifully complemented black coloring of the geese.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and fave my images. Enjoy the day.
Brant are small, dark geese that have large wings, which give them their characteristic strong flight. Brant have short necks, small heads and bills. ... The otherwise black neck has a series of white striations, called a necklace, near the middle.
Brant is another of those towns that started out with high hopes when southern Alberta was thrown open to settlers between 1906 and 1914. Thousands of Canadian and American homesteaders flocked to the area. With the rapid influx of settlers, the Canadian and Pacific Railroad was not long in stringing branch lines in hopes of being able to haul the great grain harvest these newcomers were sure to produce. Brant was one of the first towns to be built along the new line. As early as 1914 Brant had a population of 125 and it grew steadily from there. During the years 1919-1929, unlike the dried-out area to the east, crops were good. As late as 1950, Brant was a still a viable village. But poor crops to the south and east forced the CPR to drastically cut back on train service and, by 1966, the village population was down to 51 and still dropping. Present day Brant, with its many empty buildings beckoning the ghost town enthusiast, can best be reached by following Highway 23 from its junction with Highway 2 near High River, east for 13 miles and then turning south over a good gravel road to the site.

A Brant Goose getting out of the water. This small goose species breeds in the far North and usually Winters along the coast lines of NA. Most often we do get some during the Fall migration when some follow the rivers from James Bay southward...This guy is about the size of a Ring-billed ( Seagull) Gull but chunkier :-)
This is a Brant Goose. He's well out of his range in Fairbanks and belongs out on the Aleutians. The refuge manager tells me this is the first one seen at Creamers for 30 years.
