Last year in September Craig Tooley photographed two Marbled Godwits frolicking in the surf at Manchester State Beach. We're hoping these large shorebirds will make a repeat visit this year. Here's a link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology if you would like to hear what their call sounds like. http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/marbled_godwit/sounds

I thank Craig for allowing me to show you this charming photo. If you'd like to see more of Craig's photos, here's his web site link: http://ruffimage.com/ You can also put Craig's name in the search box at the top of this blog to see more photos by Craig. He's one of the best!

The Snowy Egret is a small white Heron with black legs and yellow feet. They are found near ponds and by the ocean's shores.

To hear what they sound like, here's a link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Snowy_Egret/sounds.

What I like about Craig's photo is the Snowy Egret's head plumes. Reminds me of a bad hair day or perhaps static electricity!
