Back to Blackwater on the 4th of July. I was afraid it might be crowded, but it wasn’t bad at all.
The Great Egrets seem to have come back for a while. I saw at least 20.
There wasn’t a lot of variety today, so I stopped by Maple Dam Road and caught the Swallows and Cormorants.
Blackwater Dawn.
I saw this Great Blue Heron as I was leaving.
One of my better Red Winged Blackbirds.
Double Crested Cormorants hang out at the Maple Dam Dock.
The Osprey chicks continue to thrive.
20 Great Egrets were foraging in the marsh.
This Bald Eagle seemed to be keeping watch.
The Barn Swallows at Maple Dam Road are still very active.
This young Deer was indifferent to my presence.
This abandoned dock is at Maple Dam Road.
