| 7/30/11 More of Bombay Hook NWR, DE. It was so much fun to watch a Black-necked Stilt family hunt and preen. The adults were often frantic when their two offspring wandered - and wandered they did! Then, we studied the Ruby-throated Hummingbird band zipping around the nature center - and zip they did! |
| 7/30/11 A gorgeous morning found us at one of our favorite places: Bombay Hook NWR, DE. A Marsh Wren family decided to check us out and we were surrounded by 5 curious wrens all at the same time. A Great Egret , an Eastern Kingbird , and a Black-necked stilt family put on a show. Also an American Avocet flock was feeding, an American Goldfinch was snacking, a Snowy Egret flock was prancing about, and we had a Glossy ibis fly-by. Doesn't get better than this! |
| 7/31/11 + 8/5/11 WWCSP and northern DE. Shown: a Green Heron watching the world go by, a Ruby-throated Hummingbird drinking dew from a leaf, a Song Sparrow peeking out, a Gray Catbird family, a Red-winged Blackbird (a beautiful orange in the sunlight) was checking out old wood for anything to nibble, and a juv. Red-eyed Vireo was begging. An Eastern Tiger Swallowtail is always a treat to see. |
| 8/6/11 Bombay Hook NWR and area, DE: Ruby-throated Hummingbird study, Osprey , Greater Yellowlegs in flight, Short-billed Dowitcher , Lesser Yellowlegs , Caspian Tern with fish, and a Western Sandpiper Study. A Semipalmated Sandpiper is shown bathing with a Western in flight - interesting to compare the bills. Small pics: Semipalamated Sandpiper and Forster's Tern at end. |
