September 21 East Unit of the Refuge

We took advantage of Colin to show us around the East Unit of the Refuge, he has a special use permit and we were"looking" for Masked Duck as a reason to be in a closed area.

 The Intracoastal Waterway forms the south boundaryWater is the most abundant feature

Seaside Sparrow danced the road for several minutes

Reddish Egret looking quite fierce

Ducks will blacken the surface before another month has passed. Right now it's just teal and a few Shoveler and Gadwall.

Obviously named Roseate Spoonbill

Jackson Ditch provides fresh water, too. 

My favorite kind of photo- reflections.
