I am now offering a very small selection of prints for sale at www.matthewherron.net/client-galle....
These are signed, archivally mounted and matted, and ready to frame in standard sizes (11"x14" for 7"x10" prints, 16"x24" for 12"x18" prints). If any sell, I'll add more.

Sora, Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Virginia. My first sora, and the reason my first furlough camping trip was cut short. I caught a faint glimpse the previous day and staked out the location in the morning. I got several good looks, unfortunately very backlit, so...

Northeastern beach tiger beetle eating a small crab, Savage Neck Dunes Natural Area Preserve, Virginia. A subspecies of the eastern beach tiger beetle, they are considered threatened and declining throughout most of their range due to human activity.

Seaside sparrows, Magothy Bay State Natural Area Preserve on the eastern shore of Virginia. These were along a narrow spit of land out into the marsh, accessible by a half-mile walk through some of the most mosquito-infested woods I've run into since Baxter SP in Maine.

Aaand now we start with the furlough pics: white ibis, great & snowy egrets, and undoubtedly some other species further out, Cape Henlopen State Park, DE. Between me and the nearest birds was a giant ball of trapped minnows, birds just going to town on them.

Finally moving on from my September trip to South Carolina to something more local: red phalarope, Capitol Reflecting Pond, Washington, DC. I Metroed up because this bird had been reported every day for like a week, but I initially went to the wrong reflecting pond!

Audubon's Silver Bluff Sanctuary, where all these recent posts of roseate spoonbills, snowy egrets, and wood storks were taken in September, is pretty empty at the moment. There's a kestrel and a kingfisher keeping me company, a few killdeer, and that's about it.

Roseate spoonbills bickering over a feather, Audubon's Silver Bluff Sanctuary, South Carolina. Video of the same birds playing, squabbling, and generally acting like big, pink puppies: youtu.be/UG_r_pKtg6s
