This weekend there was a boat trip out of Lewes, DE, for pelagic (ocean) birds. On the way there, this dorky Tri-colored Heron amused me in Worcester County, MD.
A bunch of us on the upper deck of the Thelma Dale V out at the continental shelf - about 65 miles east of Ocean City. Bright sunshine out here while the rain was pouring down on the mainland. The pelagic species we ran across were Audubon's, Great, and Cory's Shearwaters, Pomarine Jaeger, and Wilson's and Leach's Storm-Petrels (I missed the Leach's). My big camera didn't get to go out on the boat - I have a hard enough time picking out the birds in binocs. Maybe next time.
On the way home, this Little Blue Heron posed nicely for pictures on Assateague. I picked the goofiest one.
I obviously have to work on my sizing pictures for the blog so subjects aren't too small. Hopefully I'll get better.
