The water in the big pond at Donnelley WMA was still low when we returned on July 28 and the light was perfect for some reflection images.

These wading birds were in constant motion as the fed in the shallow water, the Wood Storks by feeling in the water with their beaks. The Tricolor Herons and Snowy Egrets watched the water patiently, waiting to strike with their bills.

Occasionally another bird would join the crowd.

This one made more of a flying hop.

The birds already feeding pay no attention to new comers.
