Four Ponds Conservation Area

Last weekend we were in Bourne and went to Four Ponds to try and get some pictures of water fowl and other birds. After being spoiled with warmer-than-usual temperatures this winter, last Saturday was the first cold day that we had been out birding. My fingers really started to suffer by the end of the trip since I had to keep taking my gloves on and off to take pictures. I really need to get a pair of gloves with removeable finger tips.

Despite the frozen fingers I was able to get a few pretty good pictures, but the best ones of the day were taken by my boyfriend- specifically the swan pictures.
