BIRDS FOUND AT PLEASURE HOUSE POINT NATURAL AREA IN VIRGINIA BEACH


We have recently found a most wonderful walk when visiting our family.  These Yellow Crowned Herons, the adult and the juvenile, also the Egret, finishing off with what I believe is a Clapper Rail, were found at the Pleasure House Point Natural Area in Virginia Beach, at low tide. 



I am sharing with the following as they become available, with my thanks to our hosts Eileen, Misty, Anni and Stewart for these great memes. To visit other participants you can click on their names.

    They are just wonderful! And you captured them in motion perfectly. I think the yellow crowned are a rare sight!

    I'm happy VA has bits of shoreline dedicated to the waterfowl who need all the help they can get. Do you know if this is a State Park?

    Awwwwwwww, Denise, these are exceptional, wonderful water bird photos. I don't think I've ever seen a YELLOW CROWNED juvenile. A special treat. The photo, 3rd from bottom, is my favorite today. Beautiful.
