Last weekend, I talked hubby into a daytrip to the Blackwater National Wildlife refuge in Cambridge Md. I wanted mostly to the see the birds and it was a great day weather wise, it was close to 60 degrees.
I saw lots of birds at Blackwater. There were Bald Eagles, lots of Snow Geese and lots of Canada Geese, Mallards and a GB Heron walking on ice. I am pretty sure that I saw a flock of swans (are they called flocks) going over the refuge too.
Swans, the Snow Geese have black on their wings. The Swans were all white.

Gorgeous skies! And what a great place! Love seeing all the ducks, geese etc. That last shot is fun -- looks as though they had all gathered for a meeting! Hope you have a great weekend!

Your snow geese photos are incredible.
Did I tell in in the winter of 1975, my roommamte's dad took me to see these brown geese near to Kingsville Canada?
One can only be glad to be allowed to see such beautiful photography.
Maybe wishing to be able to give the small finger, in order to be able to "fly" into one of your pictures.
Please have a nice Friday.
Beautiful pics especially the Snow Geese and the Canada Geese!

Amazing shots Eileen, I love to see photos of birds in flight. My favorite is the first one with the beautiful swans.
These images makes me think of spring, around March large amounts of geese can be seen on the fields around my house. Thanks for stopping by.
Your pictures are all very lovely but I love the snow geese the most. Their formation is awesome.
Btw, thanks for your comments in my blogs.
I'm so late this week viewing Skywatch shots but I'm glad I finally got here. Those clouds are unique and the swans - what a great catch!
