...the place for creativity
Welcome
   
 
Last month Bonnie and I vacationed along the southeast coast. We started in Charleston SC and ended up in northeast Florida. 

In addition to enjoying the sights, images were made along the way.

Previously I had only made a few images of birds. For the first time in my life I had the opportunity to make images of birds in rookeries.  A rookery is a communal nesting place for birds consisting of anywhere from just a few nests to hundreds of nesting pairs.

This was simply an amazing experience.   Birds were building nests, showing breeding plumage, feeding their young etc.  Wow.  
 
I hope you enjoy the images.  Additional images are on my website  and I will be adding more over the next few weeks.       

Take care,
Jeffrey

Birds of a Feather



This image of an Anhinga was made in Charleston SC.  Anhinga's are swimming birds and after a swim like to perch on a limb to dry their wings.
    



The Cattle Egret It comes by it's name because it will follow livestock to feed on the insects they disturb. Sometimes you will find them perched on the backs of the cattle and horses.


During breeding season the male Great Egret has a patch of skin near its eye that turns green and long plumes (aigrettes) grow from its back.



The Snowy Egret's upper bill, in front of the eyes, is yellow but turns red during the breeding season, the adults also gain re-curved plumes on the back, making for a "shaggy" effect.



The Wood Stork is the only stork that breeds in North America. They stand 33-45 innches tall and the wings span 55-71 inches across.
