My shot below is my entry for Skywatch and is from Blackwater NWR taking on Friday the 15th.
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.
Thanks for checking out my Blackwater Skies and to see more great skies from all over go
and visit: Skywatch Friday Also a big thanks to our hosting team of Sylvia, Sandy, Wren, Klaus and Fishing Guy

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!

ReplyDeleteDid 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.
