Years ago when I thought of Ibis a golf course, or Florida landscapes came to mind.
Not any more. Now it’s muck and mud. Down here that’s where they run to first.
It’s amazing they manage to stay as clean as they do.
Ibis, Where They Love To Be

Fly By, Great Blue Heron
A jump into the air…
and off through the swamp.
It’s always impressive how they can do that.
A Run Through The Jungle
At least that’s what it reminds me of.
I’ve lived here a while now but still appreciate the tropical foliage.
Above, top right, is an Anhinga also. A true tropical bird so it just fit the theme a little more, made me smile when I spotted it later.
Quick Marsh Shot, Misc. Critters
Unfortunately the smaller shore birds all have their heads down feeding. I need to see the bill length to start an ID. They are probably Godwits, but an educated guess… at best.
The main subject, a Snowy Egret.
Egret Gathering Sticks End Of Day
I think there is just a good balance of Egret and environment here. A nice perspective on the location.
I have a tendency to take the shot too wide. However on this one I only formatted to standard size. I always make photographs industry standard sizes rather than leave it as camera sensor format.
Second Time Is The Charm, Heron
Recently I wrote how the Herons here seem to usually take a right to left flight path. And how I can get caught by surprise. Apparently people are just as habit prone as the critters.
This location has a different flight path, and now I ‘may’ be ready for it.
Second Time Is The Charm, Heron
In The Rain, Osprey
Every year this nest gets bigger. I was neglect in not getting a shot of the tree, and height, with a short lens. Best description, it’s shocking.
Below is this years youngster calling out for an adult perched within sight.
From her higher spot she can view the large lake, young, and miles of marsh. The Bald Eagles nest not far so a guard is probably a good idea.
Bear Island, South Carolina.
Tricolored Heron
This is another photograph in the rain, or drizzle really.
It was a day we had to get out. The weather, light, even time of day was against us, but so what… we were outside.
It turned out the smaller wading birds were out too.
Being in the marshes was a welcome change from a rookery too. Something different.
