August 10, 2013

 Hubby and I saw a lot of birds during our visit to Bombay Hook NWR in Delaware. It is a great wildlife refuge to visit in the summer. Just some of the birds we saw are the American Avocets, Glossy Ibis, Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Snowy Egret, Canada Geese, Green Heron, Blue Grosbeak and  Indigo Bunting.

I posted a lot of photos.. so click on  them  to view a larger size.

I hope you enjoyed the birds of Bombay Hook NWR..if you are ever in the area you should plan a visit.

    Hey!That's a really good and varied selection today Eileen. Good to see a Ruddy Duck again - they are such characters and I'd love to see a Blue Grosbeak just like your picture. Have a wonderful week ahead.

    You have some truly magnificent birds in your area. That Indigo Bunting is gorgeous. They are spotty here in Arizona. Our common bunting right now is the Varied which is also quite beautiful....but one dare not get too close or they fly off!

    Stupendous Eileen!!! I hope to some day see a glossy ibis, but I think they're more or less a Florida bird, but I read that the white faced found here in Texas are quite similar.

    LOVED the blue grosbeak sitting/posing so pretty!!

    Thanks for linking up this weekend at the Bird D'Pot!! Have a great week ahead.
