This area is a wonderful modification to the Baker Wetlands that came about when the by-pass was completed around Lawrence. Here is how it looked this morning when the sum first came out.
Bought a Nikon D850
Went for a walk; saw an interesting; took a picture. Click the image for a larger version.
White Ibis
The White Ibis is brown as a juvenile.
As an adult, its is all white except for black feathers on its wing tips.
Snowy Egret
The Snowy Egret can be distinguished from the Great Egret by its black bill and yellow feet, opposite of the Great Egret.
Great Egret
These birds are graceful, but efficient killers of fish. They stand in the water and pierce the fish with their sharp bills. They fold up their necks when they fly and when they perch. See here.
Common Gallinule Having a Snack
This bird looks like a duck, but is not technically a duck. It is thriving across a wide area of the Eastern US.
The Right Light
Cindi and I took a number of Little Blue Heron pictures but we did not get the detail of the feathers until we got the late side light as we were waiting to board the Sunset Cruise at Tarpon Bay.
Murder of Crows
Tarpon Bay, Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge, Sanibel Island, Florida
Crows swarm above a tiny rookery mangrove island already occupied by Brown Pelicans and Double Crested Cormorants.
Diagonal Composition
I tried to create some diagonal energy between the waves and the sun.
