These Harlequin's were frolicking around in the surf just off the rocky coast of Rockport for my 2,000th spotting.

Thanks marirs. These ducks come to the coast of the northeast US each winter. They will be heading north pretty soon.

Thanks Fyn and Ashley. You guys are pretty good with a camera yourselves! If I started a Facebook account, there wouldn't be time for me to post on my website, BugGuide and Project Noah:-)

I agree with Fyn, you're definitely one of my favorites too! I wish you had a Facebook so we didn't always have to have conversations on your spottings, but I know you don't do that Facebook nonsense haha
