Feb 7-8, 2023. I am sharing more photos from our Delaware shore getaway, we stayed one night in Lewes Delaware, just a short drive away from the Cape Henlopen State Park and the Indian River Inlet Park.
1. Cape Henlopen Point is where the Delaware Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. We watched at least 3 large groups of Snow Geese fly over our heads heading inland to the corn fields. Out in the ocean we could see the Common Loon, Gulls, on the ground near the parking lot I noticed various species like the Song Sparrows, Dark-eyed Juncos and a surprise lifer a Lark Sparrow. Eastern Bluebirds were nearby in a bare tree.
Thank you for sharing your critters and post!

Those were very nice bird sightings again, dear Eileen! It's great that you discovered one of your lifers, even if you only realized it with a delay. Unfortunately, that happens sometimes, but at least you have the pretty bird in a photo. For me there were again some known and unknown birds to be seen here, from the unknown I especially liked the Surf Scoter.
ReplyDeleteHugs, have a wonderful weekend & happy March days!

Hello Eileen :=) , and
ReplyDeleteSpectacular views of the geese in flight, and the Surf Scoter which I don't recall seeing before. It's beak is so colourful, and large for it's size. I enjoyed your capture of the Surf Scoter with the Horned.Grebe in the same photo. The Cormorants is another fine encounter, and also the Great Black-backed Gulls.The Long-tailed Ducks seem to be enjoying themselves in the sea, and it was nice to see the Nature Center birds at the feeders.
Have a great time whilst you are away.
All the best, and thank you for hosting.

ReplyDeleteThank you Sondra! I appreciate your comment! I confused the sparrow with the Lark Bunting.
DeleteTake care, have a great weekend!
I especially enjoyed the photos of the scoter and Black-backed Gulls. I would never have noticed the Lark Sparrow without your prompt.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ken, for the visit and comment! The Sparrow was a lucky sighting!

You got excellent photographs from the Cape Henlopen State Park, and Delaware Bay looks quiet and pleasant! Interesting to see the ducks jumping over the water like the fish. Overall a fantastic birdwatch. Enjoy the week

wonderful flying of Snow Geese...
ReplyDeletehave a great weekend
Thank you for the comment and visit. Have a happy weekend!
DeleteComo sempre, imagens incríveis, Eileen!
ReplyDeleteFiquei especialmente encantada, com as formações de aves em voo, pois aqui por estes lados, não vejo grandes bandos, apenas algumas espécies em numero reduzido se deixam ver, por ocasião das suas rotas migratórias...
E aquela imagem dos corvos marinhos poisados nas estacas, também ficou muito especial, sobretudo pela imensa quantidade dos mesmos...
Deixo um beijinho e votos de continuação de dias felizes, para si e todos os seus, Eileen, e repletos de bons motivos para fotografar! Tudo de bom!
Ana
Thank you Ana! I do enjoy seeing these large flocks of birds. Have a happy day!
