I am sharing some more images from our visit to Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge in Delaware. I have blogged many times on our various visits to Bombay Hook NWR, it is one of my favorite places to see the birds and view wildlife. I hope you enjoy my photos.

On this day we arrived at the wildlife refuge early in the morning since we spent the night in Dover Delaware. We were able to see 5-6 Clapper Rails with some chicks.



We saw lots of Egrets, some Snowy Egrets, Great Egrets and there may be the juvenile Little Blue Heron too.


The Green Heron posed nicely on the fence for me.


The first Clapper Rail sighting at the beginning of the wildlife drive.


Another adult Clapper Rail with a cute chick. Their chicks are black in color.



There are two Clapper Rail chicks above, it is great to be there during the low tide to see these secretive birds come out of the grasses looking for food.


The Great Egret above with it's yellow bill and black legs. It is one of the taller egrets.


Not the clearest shot, but I think this Fox was cute that came out and sat on the wildlife drive as we went past.

These are some images from our last visit to Bombay Hook NWR in Delaware. On this day we saw a lot of birds, awesome sightings of the Purple Martins, Great Egrets, Mallard and ducklings, American Avocets, a few sightings of a Red Fox.


The Purple Martin houses are close to the visitor center.



This Red Fox was laying right on the wildlife drive. I think it is a young one and looked sick.


A view of one of the ponds and some Great Egrets and Canada Geese.



I believe this is a Mallard with her ducklings.



The American Avocets, a pretty shorebird.




I have much more from our visit to Bombay Hook NWR, we visited for two days. There is always so much to see.  I appreciate and thank everyone who links up their post and for all the wonderful comments! I hope you enjoy my post and photos too!
