Snowy Egrets and White Ibis today. The tide is exceptionally high, it's a seasonal trend, lots of marsh birds way out, perched in the Mangroves. Nothing moving at the pond. I waited a while and the Snowies and Ibis started showing up. I put out some french fries and dry cat food to bring in some gulls, they just weren't eating at the time, and a gull will usually eat anything.
If you know you have a good spot, and nothing is there, wait for a while, often, they will come. Hunting is an exercise in patience, and wildlife photography is hunting.
Thanks, swampy!
Beautiful as always!
Happy birthday. Hope your day was as wonderful as you make ours with your photography!
If you’d like to be on or off this Upper Midwest/outdoors/rural list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest.
How nice to hear you sounding so much better today. The pictures are perfect, and so pleasant, almost soothing to see.
Happy birthday, whenever it is. I didn’t know that you were 140. You’ve aged very well! ♥
Lovely!
Beautiful as always. Thanks for letting us enjoy the product of your talent, skills and patience ... and thank the birds for us too.
