I don’t usually go to Blackwater at this time of year, but it’s been so slow around here I thought I’d try it. I did OK, and missed several good birds, so it was worth the trip.
Many Great Blue Herons were fishing in the marsh.
I don’t recall seeing so many (30-40) Great Egrets anywhere else.
This Red Winged Blackbird attacked me several times as I walked by his nest.
This Green Heron was the first bird I saw this morning.
It’s a little rare to see a Double Crested Cormorant with both “Crests” showing.
This young deer seemed more attractive than most.
This large Snapping Turtle was crossing the road on Wildlife Drive.
Julia caught the large (6 lb.) snakehead that Pat is holding above.
