The Great Blue Heron, our September Visitor 2021

Since the osprey left, another feathered visitor, the Great Blue Heron,  takes turns with the bald eagle.  They don’t seem to mind sharing the same lookout spot and each sometimes visits several times a day, just not at the same time.

The Osprey Have Left till Next Year

The fish hawks are on their way to South America and other southern locales.

Recent Eagles September 2021

 The osprey have flown to South America or the south and the bald eagles  already came to visit.

Can’t you just hear the water lapping against the shore?

Yellow Crowned Night Heron Juvenile

I spotted a heron in Southern St. Mary’s County July 25th.  I don’t think a yellow crowned night heron is a common bird for this area, but it is in their range. Most photos I saw were from Florida and Texas.  We see lots of great blue herons and occasional green herons.  Elsewhere I have seen tri-colored herons.  I was surprised it wasn’t one of them.
