Snowy Egret Shadow and Reflection by paulsikorski

A Snowy Egret comes in for a landing at a salt marsh. The position of the egret in relation to the sun casts both a shadow and reflection onto the water.

Landing on a Reed by paulsikorski

At first I thought this was a Sparrow. But it turned out to be a female Red-winged Blackbird. It just landed on a Common Reed in a salt marsh. The male Red-Winged Blackbird is all black with red on its wings.
