Random things that happen when you're photographing birds in wet, marshy, areas: dragonflies sometimes fly into the frame. |

This great blue heron was feeding in the marsh as I took photos of it. |

Hummingbirds are fun to watch when they feed, even if very difficult to photograph |

Though I frequently see great egrets at the coast, I only occasionally see them in Vermont. Seeing them fly overhead in a group of four from my yard was a major surprise |

The quality of photos you can get at dusk, even with the flash, can be seriously diminished, but I still like these images of a ruby-throated hummingbird feeding from a bee balm |
