Assateague Island
The egrets on Assateague seem to be accustomed to photographers. I've taken pictures of them before, perhaps from this same spot along the road.
This is a wildlife refuge, carefully managed to protect the species that make this home. It's a wonderful place, but wear insect repellent because the mosquitoes are hungry!

I have never seen an egret in person. Wonderful habitat for them and safe too. It's a shame that water and bird watching usually means biting bugs.. Thank you for linking into Nature Notes this week....Michelle
ReplyDeleteLove Assateague! Beautiful egrets, and you got some great shots! They are so snowy white!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the egrets.. Chincoteague also has the juvie Little Blue Herons that can be white too. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Always frustrating when you realise you've forgotten the insect repellant too late!
