An egret back at the brook

Another view of an egret along Potter’s Brook in Litchfield, Maine, this summer.

Lunch time

Getting back into the archives, we had a nice walk this summer along the Connecticut coast. Here at a beach on Enders Island, a gull was spotted playing with a crab. I had to wait several minutes for the bird to turn around and give us a clear view of its catch.

An egret at Potter’s Brook

During a hike near Pleasant pond in Litchfield (Maine), we encountered a not-so-typical sight: an egret hung around the Potter’s brook outlet into the pond. We do not see egrets very often here, a nice surprise.

Heron on the west side of the Great Marsh

At another corner of the Island, along School House road, the herons can sometimes be found searching for a snack.

Egret at the alley

During this recent summer visit to the Fishers Island sound area, there were egrets almost everywhere one goes. Are they close enough for a great image or are they poking around beautiful natural settings? Near Allyn’s Alley, this one may have been looking for food, I guess.

Egret on the marsh

During our last visit to southeast Connecticut this summer, there was plenty of other bird sightings to evaluate and ponder. Here, at the Poggy Bay marsh, the almost regular visit of an egret or heron was caught.
