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.

I looked back at the Royal Tern colony that I shot last June. Here are two that make me look forward to seeing them again soon.

Carolina Chickadee
Filed Under Songbirds, Winter 2010
I watched this little chickadee as it fed this afternoon. Like most small birds it was frenetic in its movements as it flitted from branch to branch. I felt lucky to get a photograph as it undoubtedly reflected on where to speed off to next.

Eagle Portrait Outake
Filed Under Eagles, Winter 2010
Yesterday I posted a nice portrait of our regal national bird. As majestically as they posed, only a few brief minutes later they lost all composure as one flew off, nearly pushing its tree-mate off in the process. I think I overheard the lower bird protest in eagle-ese, ‘Hey watch it, bird brain.’

Doubling Up the Eagle Eyes
Filed Under Eagles, Winter 2010
The number of Bald Eagles in Delaware has been rising over the past few years. Honestly, rarely a day goes by that I don’t see at least one eagle somewhere in my travels. Yesterday morning I saw two, stacked up in a tree looking out over a creek for a fish to convert into breakfast.

GBH On Ice
Filed Under Herons, Winter 2010
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.

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.
