Glenn's BBC South Beach trip Saturday August 4, 2007. South Beach is off Chatham, Cape Cod, MA.
Herman took Eva to Rockport to see Harlequin Ducks Jan. 6, 2007
because a distant look at Harlequins on Nantucket the previous weekend had whetted her interest. They are only in MA in the winter.
More Harlequin pictures, one Northern Gannet picture, and pictures of two species of seals taken on that outing.
There's also a 3 second video of an Eider diving straight to the bottom for mussels, eider_down.wmv (200k), or, if you prefer QuickTime, eider_down.mov (321k) taken from the cliff overlook at Halibut Point. My "movie" just shows the eider as a white dot becoming smaller and smaller until it vanishes as it dives straight down. But I found a fabulous video on the web by Joel Heath that was taken underwater:

Eva accompanied Herman a few times in Spring 2003.
Taking pictures of sightings enhances her fun.
