great day sunrise

Some days are better than others when you photograph wildlife.   You can never schedule a shot and everything is a found situation.  Predicting wildlife behavior is sometimes more difficult than predicting the weather.  Today I had a good half hour on the salt marsh this morning.  All of these photographs are made within 30 minutes.  Some days, you just get lucky.

    I love the trill of the Red-winged Blackbirds…

    And the blue eyes of the Cormorants.

    We have a lot of red-winged blackbirds in our area. I had never seen them until I moved to Delaware and was happy when I finally spotted them. I didn’t know all those birds….nor did I know more than the robin eggs the other day, so keep up all this educational work you are doing, Kevin!

    To me, the red-winged blackbirds make reference to Mr. Washington…it sounds as if they’re calling “Booker T. !! Booker T.!”
