Thankful Thursday

Happy Thankful Thursday!

These are images from our visit to Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge in Smyrna Delaware.  We had bird sightings galore and a beautiful sunset. 

A view of the marsh land, in the distant tree there is an eagle nest. You can make their nest in one of the taller bare trees. A Great Blue Heron is standing close the the grasses. 

American Avocets, the have a thin curved bill and they are white with black wings. 

Osprey has a meal below.

Below are two Great Egrets easily id with their yellow bill, dark legs and feet. The Great Blue Heron has a fish it was trying to eat.  I am not sure if the smaller bird is a juvenile Little Blue, it's beak looks dark at the end. The Snowy Egret has a dark bill.

The sunset and a pretty reflection.

Bombay Hook NWR, Delaware

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.

Some cardinal flowers growing at the edge of the marsh land.

Some slider turtles, one has a different view. 

Pretty unknown wildflowers.

Link up your post and share your critters, join in with my critter party ! You can share any kind of critters the real ones, pretend ones, statues and paintings, a new or old post!

My hummers will be leaving soon, so I have been taking lots of photos while they are still around my yard.  I also have a pair of Houses Finches and a Monarch photos on the butterfly bush. 

House Finch couple, the male is a pretty bright red.

This may be a juvenile male Ruby-throated Hummingbird. I see a small red dot on it's chest.

One morning, I looked out at my hummingbird feeder and saw a hummer hanging still and upside down from the feeder. I thought it died. I went outside and was almost to the feeder and the hummer flew away. It was very strange, I am just glad it was OK.
