Tri-colored Heron at Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center.

Sandy Point failed me again. There’s a web site that’s supposed to predict sunrise colors, and it’s proving to be worthless.  Not a single image.

Terrapin was a disappointment as well, so I left there sooner than usual and went to CBEC. I’d heard there was a Fox showing up recently, and I saw it right away. I found it later as well, but couldn’t get a shot.

The lake was  well populated with egrets, herons and a few Ibises, as well as Osprey and sandpipers. A very good morning.

I was lucky to catch this White Tailed Deer before she disappeared.
