Local Critters (Bucks County, PA)

I shot these photos from the luxury of my in-laws’ sun room using my father-in-law’s telescopic lens.

  1. Fabulous. I will forward this to Art. Maybe I’ll paint them. 🙂

      Thanks! I especially like the third heron. I might try to paint that one, too!

      Thanks! I’m fascinated by animals. I can watch them for hours.

  3. Great photos! What kind of camera was it?

      I think it’s a Canon, but it’s attached to a telescope — a Questar.

  4. What a delight! Hmmm…makes me want one of those camera setups. Thanks!

  5. Herons? In Bucks County? I didn’t know! GORGEOUS!!!!
    We have numerous foxes here (mid-Delco), but I don’t think we have enough water in the immediate area for herons. Maybe a few miles away where there are lakes.

    I forgot to add that the 1st fox picture (esp) is absolutely exquisite. What a wonderful portrait!!!!

      Thank you! When I first spotted the fox through the telescope, it was sitting so still that I wondered if it was a lawn ornament! Then it moved, and I knew it was real.

  7. Beautiful shots,Marc!

    A few years ago I’d actually spotted some PELICANs flying around in interior Colorado. Wife and I were driving to Buena Vista, CO, and pulled over so I could take pictures of them. Never expected to see pelicans in this arid state, but, apparently, the American White Pelican does frequent the western states.

      Pelicans! That must have been a sight!

      1. They were so cool. Three of them in close formation.
