Denise > Common Goldeneye (Bucephala clangula)   - Rings Island Marina - Salisbury, MA  (March 30, 2008)

Denise > Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) - Newbury, MA  (March 31, 2008)

The brilliantly colored Northern Cardinal has the record for popularity as a state bird: in the United States, it holds that title in seven states. This common bird is a winter fixture at snow-covered bird feeders throughout the Northeast, but it only spread to New York and New England in the mid-20th century.

Brighter red males hold territories with denser vegetation, feed at higher rates, and have greater reproductive success than duller males.
Denise > White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis) - Newbury, MA  (March 31, 2008)

A common bird of deciduous forests and wooded suburbs, the White-breasted Nuthatch can be seen hopping headfirst down the trunks of trees in search of insect food. It frequents bird feeders and takes sunflower seeds off to the side of a tree, where it wedges them into a crevice and hammers them open.

Denise > Logan International Airport - Boston, MA  (March 31, 2008)

I had no idea what this "boat" was but I was sitting in the terminal - just waiting - so I decided to take a picture.  

Japan-based Nippon Yusen Kaisha or NYK Line, is one of the largest shipping companies in the world. It is a core Mitsubishi company.  

The company traces its history back to the Tsukumo Shokai Shipping company founded by the Tosa clan in 1870. In 1875, as Mitsubishi Shokai, it inaugurated Japan's first passenger liner service, with a route from Yokohama to Shanghai. The company merged with Kyodo Unyu Kaisha (founded 1882) in 1885 and adopted its present name.
