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.

Great Egret

Filed Under Egrets, Spring

These two Great Egrets were settling into a fish filled pond a few days ago.  We have not had much sun here in coastal Delaware for a while so I am digging into the archives to post something new.

The Coast Is Open For The Summer

Filed Under Egrets, Spring, yellow legs

The marshes have sprung to life over the past couple of weeks.  The summer residents are moving in and staking claim to feeding and breeding areas.  Tonight there was a spectacular dispaly put on by Yellow Legs and a variety of egrets as they fished for dinner, muscled out the competition and courted the opposite sex.
