The weatherman got it about right this morning;temps in the 30s, but warming and a strong wind. My friend Graeme and I had planned a trip to the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center, and we met there about 8:30.
We made several loops of the marsh path and ran into some nice birds, including several recently arrived Ospreys.
This one-footed Osprey seems to be thriving despite the handicap.
This Mallard was having a serious snooze.
This Red Tailed Hawk flew right over us as we were leaving.
White Throated Sparrows will be heading North to breed soon.
This Belted Kingfisher was fishing near the observation platform.
Tree Swallows were foraging on the entrance road, just as in my previous visit.
We saw several Bald Eagles, but none came very close.
Looks like you had a great birding day Hugh! Wonderful captures.
