Wading Birds – #1

.

Here we go again!  I’m beginning yet another bird series, this one on the taller, long-legged wading birds.  Think herons, egrets, ibis.

In Maryland, most waders are here from spring to fall, then depart for migration, leaving us primarily the Great Blue Heron here over winter.  So to begin, most will be favorites from this past spring/summer/fall, until I get into this year’s upcoming season. 😊

Let’s get this long-legged series started!
