It’s still pretty slow around here, so I went to Blackwater this morning. Wading birds are still in short supply, but the Ospreys are about to fledge, and my Red Headed friends are very active.
I checked out the Swallows and Terns at the bridge on Key Wallace Drive, and was lucky enough to run into a River Otter. Otters are cool, and I don’t see enough of them.
Sunrise at Blackwater NWR.
This great Blue Heron was the first bird I saw this morning.
These young Osprey will be flying soon.
The adult Red Headed Woodpecker is still feeding this youngster.
This Eastern Kingbird was flycatching on Key Wallace Drive.
A few Forster’s Terns have settled in along Wildlife Drive.
Bald Eagles are usually easy to find.
This River Otter was a real treat.
Nice collection!! Love the young red-headed, and yes! That otter!! Fun!!
