Bird Photos / Bombay Hook, DE

8/18/2007

Joyce and I went on a Harford Bird Club trip to Bombay Hook, Delaware on August 18th, 2007. There was not much water in the various pools, so the shorebird counts and variety were down from previous visits. But there were still plenty of nice birds to see, like these guys:

Semipalmated Sandpipers

Yellowlegs

Several Ruby Throated Hummingbirds visited the feeders at the park headquarters:
