Since being back from our vacation, hubby have taken daytrips to Shendoah in Virginia and Bombay Hook in Delaware.. On this post I am sharing some of the photos from Bombay Hook wildlife refuge in Delaware. I have some shots for Tex's Good Fences and some sky shots for Skywatch Friday!
Before leaving for Delaware I took this shot the moon setting from my deck on the morning of June 14.
One of the first birds we saw when we entered the wildlife refuge was this Eastern Kingbird sitting on a fence..You can just barely make out the white edge on this birds tail, they say it looks like the bird dipped its tail in white paint.. My photo doesn't show the whole fence but I thought it would still be good for my Good Fence post..
Black-necked Stilt on a nest, it is a breeder bird for the Bombay Hook NWR.
A pretty scenic view of the Great Egret and Bombay Hook's marsh land, pool and the pretty blue sky. I am not sure why but I was surprised there were not more Egrets being seen on this day..
It seems the birds at Bombay Hook knew I would be looking for photos for my fence post.. On the wildlife drive heading to Finnis Pool, I found this Great Egret posing on the fence. Perfect!
The Black-necked Stilt is one of my favorite birds seen at Bombay Hook..
I took this shot off the road on the way home from Delaware..The pretty clouds, blue sky and the fence, make a great scene for both Good Fences and Skywatch Friday!
I hope you enjoyed my post and photos from the wildlife refuge.
To see more pretty skies from around the world please visit Skywatch Friday
and check more fence shots at Tex's Good Fences
Thanks to Tex @ The Run*A*Round Ranch for hosting Good Fences and to Sylvia, Yogi and Sandy for hosting Skywatch Friday! I wish everyone a safe and happy long weekend.

I really like the full moon shot. You really did get it up close. And the last shot, you took on your way home, is wonderful. The clouds are special.

Eastern kingbirds are such friendly birds. Yep, the bit of fence works for me. ;)
i think the kingbirds are SO handsome! and you got an egret to fence pose, too! your moon shots are always 'stellar' - ha ha. pun intended. :)
thanks, eileen!
Love the bird photos especially! That white egret is gorgeous! So nice of him to perch for you. :-)
You have some brilliant shots today Eileen. The Eastern Kingbird is just superb, the egrets and the stilt in the marsh. But best of all is your fence and sky shot - it has great perspective.
Great photos of catching them all at their happy moments in life!

Although your moon photo is incredible, I really like your last picture. The pictures of the birds you saw in Delaware are marvelous, as always. The picture of the egrets in the marshland is beautiful.
Wonderful photos, especially that of the moon.
The moon shot is awesome, love that winding white fencing!
You must have been on Heaven out there, Eileen! Gorgeous birds!!!...:)JP
what a wonderful place for bird spotting. the moon shot is spectacular.
Hello Eileen!
Your shot of the full moon is very good! When I took my photo, its 'navel' was on the right side and by the time it was visible in your part of the world it was on the left side. It made me realize how far away we are from each other!!
All the birds are just gorgeous!
That is the best moon shot I've ever seen. WOW
Excellent images!! Oh, my. That eastern kingbird shot is awesome. Very, very nice set.
It looks like a very pretty area.
Great bird shots, Eileen. The shot of the moon is just wonderful.
A wonderful selections of pics Eileen and your shot of the moon is just magical ... Bravo!!
You are such a dedicated birder! Well done!
Lots of great birds here. That Egret on the Fence is a wonderful shot. Also the last shot with the pretty white fence is really neat.
The last photo is perfect for both memes. What a pretty view. My daughter had an Eastern Kingbird visit her yard some time ago. I'd never even heard of it at that time.
Great photos, Eileen.
Hi There, That is one fantastic moon photo... WOW!!!
Great photos of the birds from your trip to Bombay Hook. Love the photo of the Kingbird.
Have a great day.
Hugs,
Betsy

Your moon is great, we had a spectacular full moon here on Friday 13th but I would never be able to get such a great shot as yours. The paint dipped tail is wonderful and I'm glad you pointed it out! Have a lovely weekend

Beautiful photos - I love the egrets wading in the shallows. They are beautiful birds. - Karen

How wonderful is a full moon shot, great job. I love your sky and fence photo and the way the fence escapes into the background, nice
Great moon shot ... but my favorite shot is the last image, off the road :) Gorgeous landscape, perfect framed with clouds and fences.
Happy weekend ... hugs Irene
I swear this is my favorite virtual birding place. You always see so much there.
