These shots were from one of my birding trips to Bombay Hook, De. On this trip we saw many Egrets and Black Crowned Night Herons. I alway enjoy the birds reflections and on this day there seem to be bird reflections everywhere we looked. Bombay Hook is one of my favorite wildlife refuges to visit. The birding there is great. It was cool to see so many juvenile Black Crowned Night Herons.
