Just sittin'

While Tim was busy photographing egrets and herons, I found something closer.

*****

We stopped at Virginia’s Roaches Run Waterfowl Sanctuary, which we’ve passed many times on the parkway, to see what was there. It’s not an easy place to navigate and isn’t really set up for viewing anything, but we found a few openings on to the water and saw some great egrets and a few other birds along with dragonflies and other insects.

Across the water: Face off, posted earlier:

Ducks are, indeed, easy photo targets, either coming near you or sitting somewhere, not afraid. Nice image.
