SOME BIRDS IN THE ‘HOOD – 9/03/09

Here’s a splendid portrait of a juvenile Green Heron resting on Bob’s boat rail.  I was only about ten feet from him and he was comfortable posing.  Took a while to identify him but my omniscient birding friend, Del, pronounced it a Green Heron and that settled it.

 

 

 

 

Here’s a Great Blue Heron looking over some rental property on nearby Mordecai Island.

Here’s a pair of  “Rats With Wings” shots.  The one on the left was taken after a delightful lunch at Cape May’s Lobster House.  On the right, in my back yard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s a scene I captured in June but its mood is perfect for the end of the season.
