Free the Gannet
Filed Under Fall 2009, Gannets
I was able to help a friend release a juvenile Northern Gannet back into the wild today. It had been rescued in northern New Jersey and brought back to good health at Tri-State Bird Rescue in northern Delaware. The Gannet enjoyed regaining its freedom and flew out over Delaware Bay immediately upon release.

Vixen or Reynard?
Female foxes are called vixens and males are called reynards. The term vixen has made its way into pop vernacular but I don’t thinkl I have ever heard of any guys being called a reynard. In any case, this vixen or reynard enkoyed the light afternoon sights at Bombay Hook NWR.

Cold Dam Morning
I spent a cold morning at the Conowingo Dam watching Bald Eagles roost in trees and fish pretty far from where the photographers lines the shore. A mature and immature came close enough for quick shot. I need to go back there for another try on these guys.

Hooded Merganser
This adult Hooded Merganser was photographed a while ago, but I thought he was worth showing off again.
