Osprey
Filed Under Osprey, Summer 2010
It’s hard to believe but many nesting birds are at the point that the young are leaving their nests. Here is an Osprey on one of the last days nest-bound.

T Bombs
Filed Under Summer 2010, Terns
The egret sunrise photographs I have been posting recently are taken near a nesting colony of Royal Terns. I am careful not to get too close to the colony so that the adult birds can stay with the chicks. There are assigned attackers who dive bomb your head even when you are standing over 100 yards away. I tried and tried to get a head on shot of one diving at me and this is the closest I got to what I had in mind. Looks like a guided tern missile.

I am fascinated by waves at the beach. I love their form as they break. I’m going to keep working this subject until I get it right.

This was the sunrise on Monday the 5th of July. To some it might be what you see staring at your Bloody Mary recovering on the morning after the 4th.

This a Royal Tern colony that I photographed this time last year. I need to go back there and see how they are doing this year.

This Seaside Dragonlet rested on a reed stalk just after sunrise the other morning.
