Banner day for Little Silver and Swans

This morning as we were taking our early morning inventory of the lake, we noticed quite a few birds behind the band shell across the lake.  With binoculars we decided that they were Great Blue Heron.   10 of them to be exact.  Just sitting resting in the early morning light.  We were able to capture these pictures before we scared them off .  It was a beautiful and unusual sight.





 But the wonder of the day was not over, we took a trip to Brigantine and when we returned the swans were dipping their heads - and they did the post coital pose and we had the camera in hand!  This is probably the best "swan heart" we will ever get!

  1. Joan, a simply stunning, once in a lifetime image of the swans. You must be very grateful to have captured this special moment. I also very much like the moodiness of the heron tribe with the bonus of a bufflehead in the foreground.
