Night heron at low tide

Last Friday we saw four herons at the Poggy Bay marsh landing. This was the adult. One of the juveniles also at the marsh was shown in a post earlier. We will show you the others over the next few days.

Hummingbird at the feeder

We are seeing a bird every few minutes this past month. It seems like the same five or six are showing up regularly.

Osprey defending the nest

The osprey shown in the previous post spent the entire fifteen minutes we were near their nest flying overhead, staring at us and voicing displeasure.

Osprey nest at the Great Marsh

On our recent recon of the Great Marsh, we caught one of the osprey parents at the nest (it has been reported there are chicks in the nest). Shortly after this encounter, the bird started to fly around above us with a distinct and noisy expression regarding our presence near the nest.

Egret sitting in a tree

While walking on the edge of the Great Marsh in southeastern Connecticut this weekend, we disturbed an egret sitting in a tree. The bird flew back along the trail and settled on a new perch. It just so happened to be on our way back, so we got an image of the bird anyway.
