Some day I’ll get a plan and figure out the best way to spend my photo taking time. I’m not getting the action I want around here, and the best places are a fair distance away. Anyway, I went to Bombay Hook again, and got some good results.
I was pleasantly surprised to see many birds, especially herons and egrets, but some migrating ducks and a Northern Harrier added to the fun. It’s almost always worth the drive, even though I’m not a fan of the trip.
There’s a field full of Bobolinks near Bear Swamp Pool.
I found this Caspian Tern at Sandy Point yesterday.
I was lucky to catch this Double Crested Cormorant as he was taking off.
Many Greater Yellowlegs feed at Bombay Hook.
A Mallard pair.
I saw this Northern Harrier on the side of the road, and was able to follow her briefly.
This appears to be another Savannah Sparrow, a bird I seldom see.
I was surprised this Snowy Egret let me get this close.
This shows the comparative size of the 19″ Northern Shoveller and the Green Winged Teal (14″).
