Water Mill Milky Way rising across the sky. The night sky is filled with ambient light making it hard to see the Milky Way. The Milky Way is the cloud of stars moving left to right. Plus the local neighbors coming and going in their cars. The lights in the foreground are lightening bugs and the colored lights crossing the sky are airplanes and maybe a satellite or two.

I don’t consider myself a wildlife photographer but I do take some bird photos when they come to me. I’m an opportunist when it comes to wildlife. These ducks, Willet and Egret were too cooperative to ignore.
