Friday Afternoon
It was a mostly quiet afternoon yesterday over at the marsh.
A great blue heron as usual had to announce his comings and goings. A mixed group of male and female hooded mergansers floated along on their standard patrol.
A young white ibis picked along in the shallow water at the edge of the marsh searching for a tasty treat. And an egret still hard at work fishing, is silhouetted by warm setting sunlight to wind down the day.

Such lovely pictures, Phil! The light in the last one is so beautiful! At Lucy’s for a few days, so we can look and admire together!
Oh so glad you folks are all together, say hi to Lucy for Alyce and me!
Best to you all!
Very Nice! Love the colors in the last one!
Hey thanks a million Reed, so glad you liked these photos!
Such great captures. 😀
Thanks very much for looking and glad you enjoyed these bird pics! 🙂
Beautiful captures.
I appreciate you looking and commenting Pat, thank you. 🙂
Funny how your slow days still make amazing photos.
Thanks. Sometimes I have to try to make something out of nothing.
Amazing photos again, Phil. Love the GBH of course. 🙂
Oh well sure, you gotta love the big blue heron. Thanks Sylvia!
Lovely evening. The silhouetted Heron in the water is especially marvelous!!
Thank you so much, glad to hear you enjoyed seeing a few of the local ‘residents’. 🙂
That big heron has a huge yap! He must have squawked a good one. These are lovely photos, and such a nice sampling of marsh birds. Love the tufts on the mergansers, the young ibis, and that beautiful silhouette and reflection in the last shot.
He does have a big yap and once again feels compelled to announce his departure to everyone and no one.
