We so often see Great Blue Herons standing in the water. It is interesting to see their long legs and big feet.

Red-winged Greeting the Day

Filed Under Fall 2007

After what seems like weeks of steady rain we now have a nice run of sunny days here in Delaware. I could not resist stopping by the marsh on my way into my office this morning. I was happy to find this Red-winged Blackbird happily greeting the day as well.
