Day 17.133: Birds at the marsh

From our walk yesterday evening in a few categories.

1) Distant birds

Tern (probably common tern) hunting in the distant mist

Glossy ibis

Great egret

Barn swallow

Tree swallow

Glossy ibis (less distant)

Snowy egret

Greater yellowlegs

2) Small birds (closer):

Yellow warbler

Hard to resist a shot of it singing

Not to be outdone - a song sparrow doing what it does best

3) Willets

Yes, the willets get a category to themselves because they were such a big presence. So non-descript when standing around

Striking (and noisy) when flying

Here's the transformation - unassuming...

Fancy wings!
