As the fog lifted I had the opportunity to reel off several hundred photos of a breeding plumage male Little Blue. The water was like glass, except for the occasional ripple created by the bird himself. Witness:
And, my favorite of the bunch:
While the Little Blue was moving about, a Snowy Egret flew in and offered some equivalent opportunites.
After the Little Blue/Snowy Extravaganza, I turned my attention to a pair of apple trees very nearby. Warblers and other species are making their way through the area, and I managed to nab the following:
1) Yellow Warbler
2) Orchard Oriole
a) Immature Male
b) Female
c)
3) I am told this one is a Baltimore Oriole, not an Orchard Oriole.
In all, it was a banner day!
