Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge, Smyrna, DE

My parents recently moved to Smyrna, DE, and while Smyrna (in my opinion) does not have much going for it, it does have a truly fabulous wildlife sanctuary that is home to many marsh birds and animals: Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge. This was my second trip to Bombay Hook, and while it was still early in the season, we still had a decent number of sightings of Great Blue Herons, snowy egrets and other marsh and shore birds.

These are a few photos and videos that I managed to get. I hope to go back again later this year and spend some more time there, and perhaps paint there as well.

Is Brandon Lord Ross contemplating jumping, or am I contemplating pushing?
