Gygis alba

I followed and tried to photograph a pair of Yellow Bitterns today, but wound up getting a better shot of this White Tern.

I was glad to see a light morph Pacific Reef Heron tonight. The dark morph seems to be more common around here.

All the White (Fairy) Terns I saw today were peeking out from behind branches. I just caught this one as it looked my way.

Photography outings have been rare lately. Today I managed to spend 45 minutes photographing a Pacific Reef Heron.

I see these White (Fairy) Terns regularly near Paseo, but this was my first time photographing a pair. Fascinating birds.

"Stay at home" orders have prevented me from photographing lately. I was glad to get out for a short bird session today.

I watched this Pacific reef heron (Egretta sacra) hunting at Paseo today. He caught one fish...just before I set up the camera.

Thank you for following along in 2019. This is my second successful #365project in three years. Here are my favorites.

I see these Common Evening Browns almost every afternoon. Sometimes I take a picture, just in case I don't get anything else.

I found this Huntsman spider (4 in. leg span) on our wall this evening. After taking the photo, Stephen and I dispatched it.

I've photographed the Melanitis leda (Common Evening Brown) before. There were dozens fluttering around tonight.

I was surprised by how well this toad blends in with the concrete box I found him on tonight. Good camouflage.
