Ever get that Sinking feeling?
Even the birds are sinking into this mud. After the rain yesterday, that muddy muck was soup. Needless to say, you crawled and didn't walk! This is back again in the mudflats at Wildwood conservation area. The lesser and greater yellow legs can still be found there in the mud. Not nearly the variety of birds as before. Most can be seen easily enough with binoculars or a scope.

Egret Migrating, and was very patient about the people birding.
Pileated Wood Pecker
Was actively working on a hole, and was sending huge wood chips flying. It was more worried about the camera shutter than the people watching it. The trail runner passing by, was however was a little to quick and to loud getting this reaction.
Snowy Owl in a Snowstorm
She perked up after sunset, and started looking around. The snow was pretty heavy at times, obscuring the owl in the snow fall.

Portraits of Sandpipers
Down in the mud in the bay of Fundy. Interesting how they are willing to run around the human taking photos. They never flushed, even with the pair of juvenile peregrine's showing up trying to flush shore birds.
