Snow Geese at Blackwater NWR.

There’s still not much to see around here, so I went back to Blackwater this morning.

The fog was serious, but the weatherman said it was going to clear, and he was right, but it took a long time.

Birds were relatively scarce this morning, and the light was awful, but I did what I could.
