me in the piazza

I'm a writer, publishing both as SJ Rozan and, with Carlos Dews, as Sam Cabot. (I'm Sam, he's Cabot.) Here you can find links to my almost-daily blog posts, including the Saturday haiku I've been doing for years. BUT the blog itself has moved to my website. If you go on over there you can subscribe and you'll never miss a post. (Miss a post! A scary thought!) Also, I'll be teaching a writing workshop in Italy this summer -- come join us!

Trip to Dead Horse Bay

Went out to Dead Horse Bay Saturday with my buddy Jim.

Our goal: to see the huge flock of scaup (20,000 or so) gathering from various places in NY harbor so they can head back north together. Also saw oystercatchers, brant geese, American black ducks, and a single merganser, looking indignant as only mergansers can. My camera's not powerful enough to capture the birds at a distance, except for this one photo, when the flock came in close.

The beach at Dead Horse Bay is famous for glass and ceramic debris going back a hundred years. New bits and pieces wash up all the time.

Also, about half a dozen boats are in various stages of dereliction on the sand, though it's unclear whether they were abandoned there, or elsewhere and they washed up there.

It was a cold day, but boy, it was fun.
