Spent about 3 hrs and the preserve with D500 and 200mm - 500mm. Beautiful day. Would appreciate any comments, criticisms, etc. I suggest downloading for best view of images. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did taking them.

Nice shots. The John Hein National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum is one of my favorite places in the Philadelphia area. Although part of the refuge is in South west Philadelphia, the bulk of it is in Delaware County. Depending on when you visit and how far you are willing to walk you may see Bald Eagles, Cormorants, Egrets, Geese, Herons, Woodpeckers, Wrens, Wood Ducks and lots of other species of birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles. When you are in the heart of the refuge it's hard to believe you are that close to one of the largest cities in the USA. I've been going there since I was a teenager and it was just the Tinicum marsh.
Great shots. John Heinz. Wasn't he associated with the famous Heinz ketchup and other food production?

Yes, he's was also a senator. He died in a crash between his small aircraft and a helicopter. Senator and Secretary John Kerry is married to John Heinz' widow.

Thanks for the additional info.
very nice but a little to dark for me about two to three stops
Very nice action shots. I enjoyed each one for their own merit.
Nice shots. I like the compositions but the photos are a little too dark for my taste.
I like the Egret with Lunch the best, but as others have said, I think the series is a little too dark. They could use to have the exposure adjusted in PP.
These are wonderful shots. I love that place and need to get back there with my gear.
Good shots, John! I see you live in Holland; have you ever spent a day at Tyler State Park shooting?
