#EasternShore Sparrows 😂
As long as they stay out of the garden. Their footprints are deeper than deer prints. #Geese ,#LawnCare

Watched this #snowyegret searching for a meal along the rocks. Didn’t take him long to find a small snake or eel-and he quickly made his way to land to devour this tasty morsel! Love his yellow feet 💛

Great Blue Herons look prehistoric, the baby’s are an ugly-sort-of cute….love their mohawks. They stand almost 3 to 4 feet tall and have a wingspan of 5 to 6 feet. Despite their size they weigh only 4 to 6 pounds. The feathers on their chest are special. They continually grow and fray. The herons comb this down with a fringed claw on their middle toes, using the down like a washcloth to remove fish slime and other oils from their feathers as they preen. They usually build their nests on trees, in colonies. This family happens to be on a duck blind which makes photo opportunities aaaaamazing!

I had never seen a #nightheron until I moved to the #easternshore. Probably because they are most active at twilight Interesting fact…..during breeding season, they develop long white head plumes and their legs turn pink.

Feels cool. The first time a winter's worth of trees have stayed out overnight. Well, in the unheated greenhouse.. I've seen peach trees wilt in there.

I have to start making the best of the mornings, there's something to do every day now.
I'm just filling up on coffee first.

The acrobatics of an #osprey diving for breakfast are fantastic! I can’t say I’m completely satisfied with these shots but I’m fascinated by the wings and precision of these magnificent #birds
