The Blackwater refuge is one of my favorite place to go birding. This time of year the shorebirds are back, Ospreys and Eagles are all on their nest. Turtles are sunning themselves on the shore, rocks and fallen trees. It is just a wonderful time of year to see nature and some great birds.

A far away view of the Eagle parents. I had heard from volunteers at the visitor center that there were two eaglets in the nest.

Hi Ellen
All your blogs are so full of wonderful photos. It was wonderful to see thse nesting eagles..so glad their numbers are rising and they are off the endangered list!
Happy Outdoor Wednesday!

Fabulous photos Eileen! We have a lot of Osprey here and I love to watch them. One flew over my car on Monday and he had a fish in his talons. I had my sunroof open and was hoping he had a really good grip on his catch of the day!

This looks like a very lovely place to visit. Great photos of the Osprey and Eagle nests.
Great shots, spring is an exciting time to view nature.
Does thebird know which is man made and which is a tree?
What a beautiful collection of Spring activities :D!
I too love to go to the marshy areas around here and check out the shore and migrating birds.
Last week, I saw four black swans...something there really should not be in NJ. But I got...and posted...the pictures!
I want to get back to our Audubon Center and see what is out there now. Your pictures were nice. I especially liked the closeup picture of the osprey on its nest.
What a great refuge to be able to visit. I love the shots of the osprey and eagles.
i love the osprey carrying the nesting material and the turtles, great shots!
This a great outdoor feature today. I really enjoyed seeing the eagles and their nest.
Hi Eileen,
Your photos are great. I saw a pair of eagles flying over a local lake once and it was a thrill. Thanks for sharing these great pics.

I am enjoying your birds! we feed them in our yard, when we can keep the feeders full, as other critters like to raid it, even tho I put out plenty on the ground! LOL.
