The weatherman got it right again:cold and very windy. I decided to try Terrapin Nature Park early, then head to CBEC, as they don’t open until 9:00. I found eagles and Ospreys at both places.
CBEC has an extensive area of birdable marshes, with lots of open space for hawks and other raptors, as well as extensive brush and woods, so I’ll be heading back soon.

My sister insists.

Look closely and you’ll see this Osprey is missing a foot. He seems to be surviving quite well without it.

This Red Winged Blackbird. is in breeding plumage and singing for a mate.

Bald Eagles are easy to find at this time of year.

These Gadwalls were camera-shy.
