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.
A nice two photograph sequence of an immature Herring Gull removing itself from a piling in the late afternoon sun.
This adult Hooded Merganser was photographed a while ago, but I thought he was worth showing off again.

Reminiscing about a hot summer day.
These three Snowy Egrets put their best feathers forward in a scene I photographed on the last day of spring this year.

Black-necked Stilts are one of my favorite shorebirds. They have left the coast of Delaware for warmer weather to the south. This is from a while back.

Benjamin Franklin promoted the Wild Turkey as our national bird. The Bald Eagle won out of course, but what if… The photograph I posted last night makes it easier to understand what a majestic bird the Wild Turkey is. This face portrait leaves us with a slightly different opinion, I think.

I found this Wild Turkey out strolling around this afternoon. It’s only six days until Thanksgiving, do you think he has anything to worry about?

Most of the 3,000 facets of the compund eyes of this dragonfly are looking right at you. I wonder what we look like to them.
This Forster’s Tern was locked in on its prey. I’m glad they are not bigger than me.
