I spent this past Friday and Saturday on Star Island, one of the Isles of Shoals off the coast of New Hampshire and Maine. The trip (which is organized by Eric Masterson) was timed to coincide with the spring migration of birds.
Joan and I went on this trip back in 2014 (see this post for birds and this one for landscapes); this year I went by myself as Joan was occupied with editing the June issue of the Antrim Limrik.
The birding was not as spectacular this year as it was in 2014 but I had a good time anyway. One can always find something to photograph if you spend time looking carefully.

Well, where do I start? Quite the variety here.
Certainly made lemonade with the bird shoot – as always tack sharp and well composed.
The color ones – especially the light in the windows and the cemetery ones.
and, the B&W are well handled – but you knew that or you would not have posted them. Might I suggest “split rock” as a title for the untitled one? Really liked the chapel.
