Bald Eagle at Blackwater NWR.

It’s still slow around here-I went to Terrapin yesterday and didn’t get a single image worth looking at. I found a few Terns at Sandy Point, but that’s nothing new. The bug hunt at Quiet Waters was much better.

The weather was near perfect, but Blackwater hasn’t picked up much, despite the cooler weather. I was hoping to find some migrants, but I didn’t have any luck.

It was still a good day, and I got a few photos worth looking at.
