Graeme and I left early for Blackwater and got there around dawn. We had the whole place to ourselves for an hour or so, and there were enough birds to keep us occupied all morning.
Orchard Orioles were very cooperative, and we saw eagles, herons, woodpeckers and a mammal or two.

We found several Orchard Oriole nests.
This Northern Watersnake was in the middle of the road.
We saw only one Delmarva Fox Squirrel.
We were lucky to catch this family of Raccoons before they disappeared in the grass.
