Great and Snowy Egrets at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, DE, Aug 21, 2022. In the summer this refuge is teeming with all kinds of wading birds. By the time late fall arrives they've all headed south.

Snow Geese

Snow Geese move around their resting spot in Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge. About every 15-20 minutes they would start flying up and moving several hundred feet away. A lot of ruckus when they do this. You can hear them for miles.
