I tested my theory about arriving earlier for sunrise, and it worked out OK.  The time on the first image is 5:17 AM, about 30 minutes before sunrise. Next time I’ll get there a half hour earlier to allow more time for setting up.

I made a short trip to Terrapin after that, but it wasn’t as productive as yesterday.

I ran some errands after lunch, and stopped at Truxtun Park, which was very productive.

The colors are pretty much exactly what I saw.

This Great Blue Heron flew right at me.

It’s hard to pass up a Cardinal who poses so well.

This Snowy Egret seemed to change direction very quickly in mid-flight.

American Crow in flight.

Today’s bugs.
