I was hoping to get some superĀ moon shots at Blackwater this morning, but it was too cloudy.
There was a lot of ice in the marshes, so the ducks weren’t as abundant as usual, and I had to settle for Geese and Eagles.
I stopped by Oakley for some sitting ducks, so the trip wasn’t a total bust.

Blackwater Dawn.


This female American Wigeon was at Oakley Street.

There were hundreds of Snow Geese, but fewer than usual.

A Lesser Scaup.

There were only a few Redheads.

This Canvasback hen was having a snooze.


You can usually find a Bald Eagle perched on Wildlife Drive.

Several Great Blue Herons were perched along the ice.

Hooded Mergansers don’t always stay long enough for a picture.
