NOTE: I stumbled on this article sitting as a draft. At first I thought to just delete it, however there is nothing topical here. It is a beautiful Tricolored.
================
These photographs are from a small creek that empties into the larger, Shem Creek. At low tide the many smaller creeks are busy with all types of birds.
During the winter and early spring it is not unusual to find herons, egrets, and even pelicans lined up next to each other.
For the longest time a nice in flight shot of an Ibis escaped me. As usually happens it’s been ‘a feast or famine’ situation.
If you are going to hang on a fishing boat, at least make it neon one. The new cool.
We have been photographing more Bald Eagles than usual lately. It seemed easier to include them as a group rather than different articles.
Until something outside the barn yard caught their interest I had nothing. Every shot or position was bad, or worse, boring.
No idea what they were seeing. At this point as long as they gave me something I was OK.
A photograph that almost didn’t happen. It is very easy for me to walk right by this.
I wonder at times how these birds pick a spot.
Sometimes you see them do the strangest things.
A big marsh is not as quiet as you would think. However, this bird wasn’t making any sounds I could hear.
This went on for a long time too.
Finally the bird stopped and acted like nothing ever happened. Put on the heron ‘grumpy face’.
Something he ate ????
