Gorgeously graphic and vividly pink-legged, Black-necked Stilts are one of my favorite bird species. This female was foraging in a shallow marsh while her mate took his turn sitting on the nest.

With ballet corps grace, a colony of American Avocets move about a shallow marsh pond that reflects the birds and blue sky.

An American Avocet forages in the morning light. Such a lovely, elegant creature.

Nice epaulets. A Red-winged Blackbird shows off its bright shoulder patches as it looks for a new perch among the marsh reeds.

I’ve been in Delaware as my dad prepares to enter hospice. We’ve not had an easy go of it. While he’s Anglican & Maga I’m reading the #Tibetan Book of the Dead & oh goodness, we should all be so lucky to have this rite as we kiss off the mortal coil.

Needing a break from the hospital, I hit #BombayHook NWR & the birds were everything. Below was my favorite bird, this fox. Such a rare sight for me, holy, quivering, tearful. I thanked the #trickster.

Hopefully homeward tomorrow.

It's almost time for my annual trip to Bombay Hook in Delaware. My husband and I try to get there at least once a year to photograph birds. It's such a beautiful place and on this day, I actually made it in time to see sunrise!

Bald Eagle coming in for a landing. This a mature Bald Eagle. It still amazes me that it takes Bald Eagles to get their famous white head feathers.
