Fox Redux

Filed Under Foxes, Spring

Here is another photo of the fox I saw last week.  I had several minutes with it and there were several good photos, so I thought I would post another from that night.  I have been traveling and we have had some bad weather here.  I hope to be out tomorrow and be able to post somehting new from that.

Osprey

Filed Under Osprey, Spring

Ospreys are common here in Delaware during the summer months.  They have come back from  near extinction decades ago due to DTD getting into their bodies and making their eggs too thin.  Now they have returned to a healthy population and we enjoy watching them along the coast.

Sunset Fox

Filed Under Foxes, Spring

This fox was pretty intent on finding an evening meal tonight.  He could not have cared less about me or the camera, thankfully.

Double-crested Cormorant

Filed Under Cormorants, Spring

This Double-crested Cormorant took a few minutes in the morning sun to warm his wings and think about where to find the next meal.

Snowy Egret

Filed Under Egrets, Spring

This Snowy Egret was in a great hurry, running to a spot where another egret had just caught a fish.  It is funny to see how much each bird watches their fellow hunters, apparently to see where the fish are.
