Beautiful photos and great bird sightings. I like the Egret chicks, the Spoonbills and the last Cattle Egret. Take care, have a great day!

Great series of birds. Always good to see the next generation coming along.

It's great to see such a nice variety. I used to have rose breasted grosbeak at my feeders in the summer, but it's been quite a few years since I've seen one.

Reddish egret? That's a funny name! Nice looking bird too.

Oh my! Those egret chicks! And the spoonbill is a stunner!

Even though I'm so close, I've never been to High Island. I must visit there.

These birds are wonderful to see. The spoonbill looks so interesting .... have not seen a bird like that.
