During an evening walk down to the marsh last weekend, we found a solitary great egret standing in mid-channel. Eventually he? poked at the water for minnows but flew off as I crept closer.

Last weekend the hummingbirds were feeding regularly at my brother’s feeder. I concentrated on getting a shot of one in the nearby trees and found this one at the perfect angle to show off his colorful throat.
