Day 44: Kingfisher

Stopping on the Risley Street bridge, we heard a bird call of loud, metallic clicks, much like an alien out of Star Trek.  Along the creek bed, we caught sight of a large gray and white bird that darted down to the surface and snatched a fish from the freezing water.  If I continue to photograph birds, I will need another new telephoto lens to capture them more clearly.

The construction crews are making rapid progress on the new science building at the college.  A huge crane is now lifting steel beams into place while ironworkers are hoisted up in bucket lifts to bolt and weld them together.
