Photo Study Of Some Birds At Bombay Hook NWR , November 28th, 2010
There
is no such thing as a bad day at Bombay Hook NWR. The refuge brings in lots
of birds from migrants to shorebirds to water fowl, depending on the season.
It even gets its
fair share of rarities although
this week's, much heralded visitor, the Barnacle Goose, eluded me. In any
event, for the three hours I was able to be at Bombay Hook today,
there was variety, sunlight and, of course, lots
of photo-ops.
