Snowy Egrets at Terrapin Nature Park

A sunny morning at last. I had decided to go to Terrapin last night, and I get good shots there when the sky is clear. There was some good action in the marsh ponds, where I met Diana, a fellow birder, and we walked the whole beach loop together, not seeing a whole lot, unfortunately.

Afterward, I spent some time looking for bugs, which were plentiful, but there wasn’t much new.

We found this Box Turtle crossing the path in the woods.

Rabbit 21

I see more rabbits at Terrapin than anywhere else.
