I’m still not hearing any interesting news from the local spots, so, back to Schoolhouse Pond.
It wasn’t nearly as productive, but the weather and the lighting were much better.
A singly Double Crested Cormorant flew over the pond.
The Little Blue Heron was much harder to find today.
I had better lighting for this Solitary Sandpiper today.
A single Great Blue Heron was present all morning.
There were only 4 Great Egrets present today.
With the Labor Day weekend snarling traffic and filling the parks, I decided to go back to Schoolhouse Pond, which has been so productive recently.
There were plenty of the same birds, and the light got quite decent after an hour or so, so I managed a few decent images.
This Osprey has the whole pond to himself.
Several Solitary Sandpipers were feeding in the marsh.
The Little Blue Heron seems to be hanging out for a while.
This small stump attracts many birds, including this Great Egret.
A great Egret is about 1.5 feet taller than a little Blue Heron.
