Saturday Afternoon
It was kind of a slow day over at the marsh yesterday afternoon, not a whole lot of our usual residents were around, but there were a few…
A snowy egret was seen jumping off from the oyster beds in the salt marsh. A least tern was flying off with a fresh caught fish. A great egret got all involved chasing across the water after some other bird that was fishing in ‘his’ territory. And of course You Know Who, fell asleep right there in the water without a care in the world.
Notice how everyone else seems to be rather busy going about their day, while a certain other individual decides it’s the perfect time for a nap?!
Great feather detail on these white birds! I wonder who Mr. A had as his most recent breakfast….
He sure did look well fed and happy. There is a lot of fish in that area and it’s likely that was his early meal.

A VERY BUSY SATURDAY, THIS WEEKEND!!!!
Thanks very much I appreciate it.
PARDON ME…But it seems that all these animals…”had their Phil”!
They do often see me around. 🙂
A busy day indeed. Great captures.
Busy for everyone except the lazy gator.
That gator is really showing off its curves.
He really is quite stylish which is important out there.
Beautiful photography.
Thanks a million I appreciate that.
Do you ever not see an alligator when you’re out?
Well there was this one day…
Actually this time of year I am likely to some on almost any day. By late fall and then winter most will tuck themselves away for the season.
Fantastic captures again, Phil. I love watching the Lest Terns darting into the water every few seconds. They’ve got far more energy than I have, or Mr. A for that matter. 🙂
I barely have the energy to attempt following them as they dart about at hyper speeds. I saw some again yesterday but pointed my camera instead at critters that move a bit more slowly. 🙂
An amazing series that really captures the life of this community in the marsh.
Thanks much I’m glad you enjoyed seeing our marsh residents.
What a lovely series of action shots, Phil!
