I&#8217;m not fond of the hour and a half drive, but it&#8217;s where the birds are at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>I did well enough. Herons and Egrets are still foraging in t he marsh, and Ospreys and Eagles are active. A few smaller birds are around, and I found a Groundhog who didn&#8217;t pose, and a Delmarva Fox Squirrel who did.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_35774\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption
