These are some shots from my visit to Bombay Hook NWR on Sept 18. I was hoping to see more shorebirds during their migraiton. On this visit to Bombay Hook we saw a large flock of American Avocets, Egrets, GB Heron, Kingfisher, Dunlins, Sandpipers, Black Bellied Plovers and some Dowitchers. I'm sure there were more birds mixed in the large groups.

I like your photos but was enchanted by the turtles.
It looks as though you had a very rewarding trip. You have some beautiful photographs to capture your memories.
Hi Eileen, excellent photos of the Avocets. We only have one in Africa, the Pied Avocet. It has a long curved, upturned bill. I looked at your photos and yours seem to have a curved bill as well. Thanks for sharing. Best regards, In His service, Jo
Great photographs and I love the turtles too!! Have a great weekend, Jackie, Surrey, UK..

What a fantastic trip! You know so many birds and I'm very impressed!
I just came from Ecobirder's blog and both of you impress me with your birding knowledge. You must have had a great trip!
Great shots! I love the Kingfisher- they look like they belong in a Dr. Seuss or Tolkien book.
You got great photos of quite the variety of birds! I especially love the turtles!
Nice photos! Love the turtles!
The turtles turn charcoal under hot sun.
Love those turtles, and I know birders can never see enough birds, but you got some nice shots of the ones you did see.

Lovely selection Eileen. I love watching Avocets. FAB.
It looks like standing room only for the turtles on that chunk of wood. It must have been fun to see all of the different types of birds.
The avocets are lovely birds which I don't see where I live. Great photos for Camera Critters this week.
