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.

Snowy Egret

Filed Under Egrets, Spring 2010

Egrets are one of my favorite subjects when photographing in the wetlands of Delaware. They are back now and I look forward to many new shots this spring, summer and fall. I took this portrait on my way into work this morning.

Birds of Summer

Filed Under Egrets, Winter 2010

Continuing in the vein of really looking forward to the return of the birds of summer, I checked back to see when I first photographed egrets last spring. This Snowy Egret was shot on April 16 last year. I’ll start looking closely for them toward the end of this month.

Egret Season Soon

Filed Under Egrets, Winter 2010

Subjects I enjoy photographing very much are egrets. Somewhere south of Delaware egrets and many other shorebirds will feel the urge to fly north soon. I, for one, can hardly wait. These two were photographed on the last day of spring last year in a Delaware marsh.

Last Call

Filed Under Egrets, Summer 2009

At sunset tonight I came upon about 50 egrets busily fishing before dark. Too bad for the fish.
