Then, a morning visit to Solomon's Island this morning was very exciting:
Osprey with a Gar-fish

Osprey with a fish - this guy circled and squawked with this fish, as if he was saying "I GOT A FISH!"

This is the church on the Island, I like the sky against the steeples
And back at my house:
Male Ruby-Throated Hummingbird
Baby Bunny!
Male Northern Cardinal - heard in a whiny voice: "PLEEEEAASE Put the feeders back up!"
So that is a lot of nature considering the feeders are down! Hope you enjoyed the photos. Until next time, be well!

Looks Great! What an exciting day it must have been.You can enter some viewbug contest! I know the location of 1 eagle nest & 1 osprey. Apparently the birds in NJ don't need to eat cause I've yet to have such an opportunity. The eagle granted me 1 fly by in late spring. I got 1 shot which I haven't posted yet. I've also seen eagles & an osprey at my local reservoir, but its always at extreme distances! I'm going to have to visit you & waynie!
Thank you, KFisch! It was beautiful morning! I have wanted to get photos with Osprey and Eagles, or Heron holding fish, for a long time! The best time here, is early morning... Definitely between sunrise and 9am. This Island is home to lots of water birds, Cormorants, Ducks, Heron, Eagles, Osprey, Gulls, and more... And is just down the road from my house. Trying to get there before too many people is also the trick. You are certainly welcome to visit! :)
