On the way home New Years Day hubby and I stopped at the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge. The visitor center was closed but the drive was open. You never know what birds you might see at Blackwater, it seems different every time I go.
For my critter post I am showing what we saw at Blackwater NWR.... thousands of Snow Geese, adult and juvenile Bald Eagles, Great Blue Herons, ducks and thousands of Canada Geese.
Photos look better when you click for a larger image.
This not the greatest photo, but I thought it was funny the geese started flying right towards our car.
They appear in the distance but there are two Great Blue Herons and one Juvenile Eagle in this photo below.

You can check out the eagle cam at the refuge here Blackwater NWR eagle cam follow the progress of the Eagles nest and when the first egg appears. It is pretty neat to watch.

Wa, wonderful captures! how much birds!
Greetings..
beautiful shots
Woha - that's a lot of geese. I really like that first flight photo!
Beautiful flock and geese, glad no one shot off any fireworks........did you read about that? Crazy! Eagles are suck beautiful birds. Nice photos as always.
So glad I discovered your blog through Steve Creek Outdoors... what a super set of photographs. I love birds and am blessed with many that visit my feeders every day. At the moment it looks as if a storm is approaching because each one is filled with the flutter of about 100 goldfinches, chickadees, nuthatches, blue jays and juncos... I look forward to seeing more of your posts about birds and birding. My blog is http://primarilypets.blogspot.com and while it's not always about birds, there are some stories there you might enjoy. cheerio!
wow, you're so fast ... you have them on perfectly... great photos..

Gorgeous geese, Eileen. Perfect camera critters, especially the eagle. A friend of mine has installed many eagle cams in my home province, BC, and it's wonderful to watch the eggs and the young ones.

I like that first photo...you don't usually see geese like that. Great catch! A lot of good photos!
Oh my gosh, you know how I love to go birding...your photos have been a special treat for me today.
Wonderful action shots. Boom & Gary of The Vermilon River, Canada.
Blackwater is one of my favorite places. Thanks for sharing your visit!

That was worth the drive through the NWR!
Wow, so many birds. Great captures, Eileen.
Have a great Sunday!
Great pictures... lot's of Geese. I saw my first Snow Goose just a few weeks ago in Texas. Sounds like a very cool place!
It's so much fun to see so many snow geese at once. I see them like that when I visit my son in the Skagit Valley in Washington. We're heading that way next week, so I hope the weather cooperates and I can get a few good photos.
wow...you always have the greatest photos!!!!!
That looks like a great spot for winter birding. Great images too.
That eagle is looking for dinner! Great shots :)
