These photos are from August 22nd, day two at the Bombay Hook NWR in Delaware. This wildlife refuge always seems to have a great variety of birds to see.
1.Below are mostly Great Egrets, possible juvenile Little Blue Herons and a couple of American Avocets.
2. On the edge of the pond are a group of Mute Swans.
3. I saw one Black-necked Stilt with a few Egrets.
4. Two Bald Eagles in the distance and closer to the drive was a group of Double-crested Cormorants and an Egret.
5. We saw the two Sandhill Cranes, these birds drew a lot of attention from birdwatchers and photographers.
Now there are 5 Sandhill Cranes being seen.
6. A Great Blue Heron looking beautiful.
7. A fox was seen walking toward our car. I like it's shadow.
8. Near one of the ponds was a group of Black-crowned Night Herons, most of these looked like juveniles. There was one Green Heron hanging out on the top photo far left.
9. How many night herons do you see below?
10. Here is a closeup of the Green Heron.
11. An Osprey flew and landed very close to the Night Herons and the Green Heron.
Further along the wildlife drive we saw a group of shorebirds and I believe there may be some Yellowlegs and American Black ducks in this group below.
I hope you enjoyed my visit to the wildlife refuge.

Hi Eileen, I enjoy every time you take us along to Bombay Hook NWR. I had to stop and look carefully at the Sandhill Cranes. I recall being in a remote area of Montana one summer and hearing the Cranes calling early in the morning. What a beautiful sound. And speaking of beautiful … you are so right about the Great Blue Heron. The fox looks determined to move straight ahead. I like the collage of Black-crowned Night Herons. I see 8 herons in image 9. 😊 You did great with the puzzle. It’s a beauty. Thanks, as always, for hosting and sharing. Happy Saturday and weekend to you and yours. John

Hello Eileen,
A beautiful series of photos from the Bombay Hook NWR nature reserve in Delaware.
I really like the photo with the fox.
I count seven night herons and one green heron in the photo.
The puzzle turned out really beautiful.
I wish you a nice weekend.
