Snowy Egret at Terrapin Nature Park Posted on May 6, 2015 by Audubon I went to Terrapin this morning in hopes of finding some warblers, but they just weren’t there. Fortunately, the marsh birds were active, as well as a herd of snapping turtles who seemed to be eating every fish in the pond. One of the big ponds at Terrapin. 6-8 Wood Ducks were cruising in the pond. Once again I looked up just in time to catch this Green Heron. Three Ospreys were fishing in the pond. This Cardinal posed beautifully. A few Laughing Gulls flew over the pond. I heard this Pileated Woodpecker in the distance, and as I looked for him, he flew toward me. I haven’t seen a Snowy Egret since last year. This Snapping Turtle and a few of his friends, were working hard to decimate a large school of fish. Share this:FacebookEmailPrint
