Brown Pelican. Virginia Beach is the northern limit of their range - they seem reluctant to cross Chesapeake Bay, although some do.
American Oystercatcher. Can't get enough of the red bill.
American Bittern. This guy is very hard to see - he is very secretive and always hides in the reeds. It's only the second time I saw one in my three years doing bird photography.
Ruddy Turnstone. In molting plumage - changing from winter to summer feathers. This picture was taken on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, and this guy has traveled more than 1,000 miles to get there from its wintering grounds. It has another 1,000 miles to go to its nesting place.
White Ibis.
Great Egret.
Osprey with dinner.
Brown Pelicans in formation. They always fly in threes - have you noticed that?
American Robin striking a pose.
