We were promised sunny weather, so I made the trek to Blackwater this morning after several days of crummy weather. The weather was certainly good enough, but there were fewer birds than I had hoped.

Eagles, Geese and Swans dominated, but other species, like ducks. were not as numerous as in the past. I ventured further afield than usual, but had no luck.

Still, it was good enough, and I expect to make more trips soon.

I only found one pair of Northern Shovelers.

Several Great Blue Herons were standing guard in the marsh.

There were three different flocks of Snow Geese.

I found more Red Winged Blackbirds than usual.

This Bald Eagle flew off just as I approached.

I haven’t seen a Delmarva Fox Squirrel in quite a while.

There were only a few Hooded Mergansers, and they spooked easily, as usual.
