Graeme, Prayoon and I headed out very early to Bombay Hook in hopes of finding some birds we don’t get to see around here. The water was still low, but we found a few interesting specimens anyway.

There weren’t many people visiting, and there were far fewer wading birds than my last visit.  We could see a decent sized flock in the distance, but much too far away to get decent images.

Some Terns were very active, and many Herons were fishing, but Egrets were not numerous. The insect population seems to be less, for some reason. We didn’t miss them.

Many Greater Yellowlegs were foraging in the distance.

There’s still many Swallows in the marsh.

This Forster’s Tern has found a large fish.

Several Killdeer were feeding at the edge of the marsh.

This flock of Black Necked Stilts flew quickly by us.

A lone Mallard was hanging with the Herons.

We saw a couple of Laughing Gulls.

Red Winged Blackbirds can be seen and heard everywhere you go.

A few Glossy Ibis flew by close enough to photograph.
