Hello & Happy Monday!
Happy Labor Day!
Can you believe it is September already? The days and weeks are flying by. I am sharing some recent photos of an overnight trip to Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge in Delaware. We spent the night in nearby Dover Delaware. The shorebirds are on the move, we saw lots of Herons, Egrets, flowers and the Slider Turtles.
On the way, I found a sunflower field next to the road.
A green heron playing peek a boo.
Egrets were plentiful around the wildlife drive.
Egrets and various shorebirds.
A juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron
Some cardinal flowers growing at the edge of the marsh land.
Some slider turtles, one has a different view.
Pretty unknown wildflowers.
Thanks for your visit today! I hope you enjoyed my post and photos.

I'm fond of that green heron in the tree, such a wonderful shot. And whhat about the turtles, so lucky you could photograph them in that way. Thanks for sharing again your great photos, I always enjoy looking at them.
ReplyDeleteSuch great photos. I like "birds on the move." We used to get a nice selection migratory birds here, but not so much here now, so I'll enjoy your travels and your nature stories.
ReplyDeleteI love the birds! And of course the happy sunflowers. I hope as cold weather arrives to blog more and start linking to your Saturday posts once again. Have a great Wednesday, Eileen!

I enjoyed seeing all of your photographs Eileen, and I thought the sunflower field a very cheerful looking place, must be that yellow colour!
