I went out to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge after work tonight. I had a pretty good evening and have several photographs to post over the next few days. This Great Blue Heron was stretching out to take off from its perch high in a tree. Nice drumsticks!

I was out of town all week but returned to some beautiful late afternoon sun lighting up a hunting Great Blue Heron.

Last light today found a Great Blue Heron working the shallows of a reed lined creek.

This heron was lucky to find some open water on a frozen marsh tonight. The hole seemed to be filled with fish as the Great Blue Heron was successful on nearly every plunge.

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

The marshes in Delaware have ben thawing out a little over the past couple of days. As a result, the open water is getting larger and I am seeing more birds coming back to fish in the marsh. This Great Blue Heron lifted off with ice as a backdrop this afternoon.
A photograph from a warmer time. These two herons were enjoying a lazy day at the marsh pond.
