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.
