Photo Study At Bombay Hook NWR And Port Mahon (Kent County, DE), August 17th, 2011.
Ed
Norman and I were able to get to Bombay Hook NWR and Port Mahon yesterday. There
were many, many thousands of shorebirds but
unfortunately they were, for the most part,
on the wrong side of the impoundments or much too far away for picture takers.
Nevertheless,
we were still able able to get a few decent shots.
