If you stick with this hobby long enough, you’ll get to see some cool birds occasionally, and today was my day. The Ibis was a nice catch, but the Tri Colored Heron was still around, and a couple of Great Egrets made an appearance as well. All of this, and perfect light as well.
A couple of colorful butterflies rounded out a near perfect day.
You can’t go wrong with butterflies.
This Red Winged Blackbird flew right in front of me.
The Common Terns only fished for a short time today.
An ordinary Mallard becomes extraordinary in flight.
I’ve sen a lot of Ospreys, and this one posed nicely.
I was lucky to catch these Double Crested Cormorants as they flew quickly by.
I’ve only seen a few Semipalmated Plovers, and I confuse them with the Killdeer.
We don’t see many Tri Colored Herons here.
The wind is responsible for this Snowy Egret’s fluffy feathers.
Another nice pose, but from a Snowy Egret.

Cornell: “A dark wading bird with a long, down-curved bill. Although the Glossy Ibis in North America lives primarily along the Atlantic Coast, it also can be found in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.”
