I caught this Blue Heron mid scratch which left it with some funky hair and one leg in the air.
GREEN HERON
I found this Green Heron preening on a branch in this beautiful morning light. He was nice enough to stop long enough for me to capture this photo.
GREAT BLUE HERON AT RADNOR LAKE STATE PARK
This Blue Heron was nice enough to stand near perfectly still for me while I captured this image. I hung around and waited for a bit while the sun sank below the horizon hoping to capture this Heron grab some dinner. But alas, it stayed pretty much still until it was time for me to head out.

BIRD IN FOG
The fog was so thick this morning at the pond, I could barely make out the birds. I believe it is an egret but not 100% sure. I thought the combination of the reflection and the bird flying into the void was an interesting image.
GREAT BLUE HERON IN FLIGHT
This big Great Blue Heron flew past me like a stealth bomber on its was to destroy its target. It was amazing how big it is yet was so fast and silent.
It ended up settling under a canopy of trees hanging over the cove, trying to scrounge up some dinner as the sun dipped lower in the sky.

GREAT EGRET DINNER
This beautiful Great Egret patiently stalked around this cove of Bledsoe Creek State Park looking for dinner. She (I actually have no idea if it’s a he or she) turned out to be quite the prolific hunter capturing two fish during the 30 mins or so that I spent with her.
PILEATED WOODPECKER
I found this pileated woodpecker early in the morning hunting for breakfast in the trunk of a fallen tree.
I was surprised to see him pecking on a tree on the ground. He didn’t really seem to mind me hanging around and watching him, so I got to spend a little bit of time with him before he moved off into the woods behind him.
