Skull on the Sand
Filed Under Scenics, Spring 2009
Birds by the thousands move about beaches and dunes as part of their life cycle. It is remarkable that we don’t see more skeletal remains. This bird skull caught my eye tonight as I explored the dunes in search of a photograph.

Sun Rise Over History
Filed Under Scenics, Spring 2009
During World War Two the coast of Delaware was heavily defended against possible enemy attack by boat or submarine. There are still remnants of those fortifications along the Delawre coast. The rising sun last week cast its light between two WWII artifacts.

Forster’s Terns
Filed Under Spring 2009, Terns
I love watching terns. They are beautiful birds and great fishers. They are also very quick in their flight patterns and so, difficult to photograph. Here are three Forster’s Terns fishing a couple of mornings ago.

Dive In
Filed Under Egrets, Spring 2009
My breakfast was found very easily this morning, right in my kitchen. I stopped by the marsh on the way into work and found a large group of Snowy Egrets wading in the shallows working hard to find fish for their breakfast. This sequence shows one of the lucky ones who took the suggestion ‘dive in’ literally.

Treed Heron
Filed Under Herons, Spring 2009
I see many Great Blue Herons around the coast of Delaware, and they sometimes roost in trees. I had not been able to photograph this until last week. Here is a treed heron shaking out the troubles of the day.

Majestic Flight
Filed Under Eagles, Spring 2009
We have had a fair share of cloudy days recently, so with a bright sunny sky today I headed out toward Delaware Bay after work in search of subjects. This eagle was enjoying the break in the weather too.
