Montauk 3 of 3

On Saturday a brief visit to the cliffs. A nice closeup of an Eider Duck at the point with other ducks and gulls at a distance. On Sunday one stop was a walk through woods with poorly marked trails. Keeping up was hard for me and then Marc got lost. He stopped to take off his balaclava and we were gone when he looked up. Fortunately, Joe helped me find him and the three of us we want back to the cars.

    Thanks for sharing! I’m very attracted to Montauk, especially the area around the Point and Camp Hero but I’ve never visited it and probably never will.
    Loved the ocean view photos!

      You would love the Montauk Inn if you ever manage to go there.

    Beautiful photos of a great trip. Thanks for sharing. BTW, “chochkes” is a good Yiddish word and you’re using it in proper context. Mazel tov. Gene & Georgia Binder

    I vaguely remember hearing about ‘Eider down’ — I didn’t realize that was a species of duck. I’m not sure what the down was used for, and I haven’t heard the term in a long, long time.

      From Bing: “Eiderdown is a type of down feather, which is a soft and fine layer of feathers located under the bird’s tougher exterior feathers. It is made by the eider duck. The female eider duck plucks the feathers off her chest into her nest in order to keep her eggs and young warm. Icelandic eiderdown is considered to be of the highest quality, and about 75% of the eiderdown worldwide comes from Iceland. Eiderdown has unique properties that give it very powerful insulating effects, despite being one of the lightest materials known to man. Because of its unique properties, it is considered to be the best insulating material that can be used to make duvets and comforters.” They like eatling shell fish.

      Thanks Derrick. Marc took those. I don’t often photograph people.
