I am also linking this post with Mary's Mosaic Monday and thanks to Mary of Little Red House.
These are photos of the birds hubby and I saw yesterday at Bombay Hook NWR. We were amazed at the number of the different Egrets and Dunlins, a lifer for me was my first Peregrine Falcon sighting. Very cool looing bird. We also saw Glossy Ibis, Mallard Ducks, Green Heron, GB Herons, Black Crowned Night Herons, Canada Geese, Yellowlegs, Dowitchers, Blue Grosbeaks, Eastern Phoebe, Eastern Kingbirds and Redwing Blackbirds. I am sure I have not listed all the birds we saw and I am forgeting a few. Bombay Hook is a great place to visit during the shorebird migration.

Brilliant collage Eileen and the egrets in the dead tree picture is simply a superb contrast in colours. Looks like you have another great site to visit there.
Beautiful birds, of course, but the photo of the deer peeking through the grass is REALLY cool!

Eileen,
How wonderful! Great shots and memories for you. Thanks for taking us to Bombay Hook!
Very impressive mosaics, thank you!
Wonderful mosiac of wild things.
How wonderful to be able to see so many species ... great collages!
Wonderful to see all this beautiful wildlife. And the color of the sky in the first mosaic nearly took my breath away...
Those are wonderful photos, love the mallard and heron. Take care and have a great week.
Your photos are spectacular and breath taking. Talk about paradise. I love visiting your blog and seeing the shots you take. You're so talented and you capture the most wonderful images.
Thank you for this lovely mosaic display.
Hope you enjoy your day,

I love all the photos, but the deer is really so sweet.
Hi Eileen
I like the photo with all the white birds (egrets?) in the tree. And, of course the big brown eyes watching you through the grass - so sweet.
Wonderful pictures! I especially like the one of the deer in the grass. I have one I took this summer of one in my sister-in-law's front yard. Brings back grand memories! Have a grand day! Cathy
Bombay hook looks like a spectacular place to bird watch, Ellen. Beautiful mosaics!
Peregrine Falcon are making a come back in NYC and I have been fortunate to see them up close of different occasions. They like the quantity of plump pigeons here to dine on. :)
Amazing shots, Eileen! Enjoyed seeing the birds, and all that scenic beauty, so pretty!
I have never heard of Bombay Hook before but you certainly did it justice with your pictures. Really enjoyed them!
Have a great week!

I really LOVE the bird mosaics. Great captures. Love the deer too.
Nice to visit you this week.
Very interesting. The birds themselves look like white blooms adorning the otherwise naked trees.
Nice photos and it sounds like a great place to visit with all those different birds.
Beautiful shots Eileen. I love that Great Egret tree! And the Green Heron statue in the bush.
Wonderful to see so many egrets in that tree.
Love the collages. Do you make them with Picasa?
Each of your collages is filled with beautiful photos. I love the tree filled with egrets and the deer peeking through the brush. Great reflection in that last photo.
I love the tree filled with egrets. You caught some nice birds here.
Bombay Hook looks like a wonderful place to while away a few hours.
The young deer's face peering through the long grass made me smile.

Wonderful photos Eileen. What a great place for birding. Loved how those little ears poked up from the grass also. Delightful post all round.

I love your mosaics Eileen Beautiful pictures.
Hi Eileen!
Again and again I stop by-- never to be disappointed by your posts.
I am loving the egrets in the trees but couldnt help but love the wee deer in the grasses just peeking out.
Nice work... stop by and join us some time for finding beauty.

These are stuning! I love egrets and they looks so beautiful!
Thank you
Wonderful collages Eileen! Beautiful captures all around!
What a wonderful variety of birds you saw. Your mosaics are lovely as always!
Wildlife must love you and allow you to get the best shots! Love the first mosaic with white in each photo. Love the second mosaic especially with the face and ears of the deer.
ldh
your photo clearly shows the difference in size between the ibis and teh egrets. Has not realized that before.
Bombay Hook must truly be a marvelous place. The pictures you got are absolutely wonderful. I'm glad you were able to add the falcon to your lifer list. Thanks for sharing this beautiful pictures and collages with us.
Looks like a really pretty place. I love the shot of the deer. Great photos. TFS and thanks for stopping by! :)
What a wonderful mosaic~ you captured such amazing nature shots...love the deer peeking thru the grass :-)
Back again -- out at Cape Hatteras after a couple of ferry rides. It is beautiful here and our phone/internet reception is fast! Life is good!
It was so bad at Sea Level NC, I was sure we would have no reception for the whole time we were on the Outer Banks.
Once again, I love your post and would so love to visit this spot. Thanks for sharing it.
What lovely captures of nature's beawuty.
What delightful photos. I love that deer peeking out of the grass and the tree full of birds - so charming!
Really beautiful pictures. I have to tell you that once my husband and I were driving when we came upon a group of egrets in trees next to a pond, very similar to your picture. At first, from a distance, we thought that someone had draped the trees all over with white shopping bags. We were very excited to see the birds up close.
Love all the photos and the collages Eileen! The reflections of the egrets are great! Beautiful...
Beautiful mosaics Eileen -- I particularly love the "egret tree."
I'm trying to learn to do mosaics -- I should hike over to Mary's Monday meme and look at some other experts (besides yours!).
What beauties...each one. I like the deer peeking through the brush.
Wow your bird photos are awesome. I can't imagine seeing so many birds in one day. You must have had a wonderful time. So many egrets in one place is amazing.
Thank you for sharing.
Hugs, Jeanne
So pretty..... Egrets are such an elegant bird~~
Happy 'Outdoor Wednesday:)

hugs,
