March 8-10th, these are some images from our little getaway to the Delaware shore and Ocean City Md. we enjoyed walking the beach, watching the surfers and the birds at the Delaware Indian River Seashore Park. Later that day we enjoyed the sunset at Ocean City's inlet and we watched the moon rising over the ocean.
Below, me and my shadow on the beach in Delaware, Long-tailed Ducks, Common Loon, a view of the beach and surf, jetty, Bufflehead ducks, beach with people with their dog and gulls and some Brant Geese.
Common Loon? We saw a few that looked young like the Loon below.

DeleteGood to see the Common Loon getting back into breeding plumage. We just spent the weekend in Algonquin Provincial Park where the first signs of thaw on the lakes are becoming apparent. It won't be long before those loons are back there getting ready for the breeding season ahead. And they don't have to worry about COVID-19 at all!
ReplyDeleteHello David, I enjoyed seeing the Loons. This is good spot to see them in the winter. Thank you for the comment. Stay safe and healthy, calm and happy! Enjoy your day, wishing you a great new week!

The beach scenes are good for the soul!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love walking on the beach! Thank you for the comment. Enjoy your day, have a great new week!
Deletelooking at these beaches makes me think it is almost time we can get to our beaches. the snowbirds will be going home and allow us to use the roads once more...right now 7 miles takes 40 minutes or more, mid april we can get there in 12 to 15 minutes without taking our lives in our hands.. or wheels I should say. stay safe and stay healthy
ReplyDeleteThanks, I hope you stay calm, safe and healthy! Enjoy your day!
DeleteI LOVE Loons!! and your Moon pics are so nice. Thanks for sharing.

DeleteWhat a gorgeous place to visit/walk... IF it ever quits raining here, I want to get out and do some walking....
ReplyDeleteHope you are are staying healthy during these scary times. No Covid 19 cases in our county so far --but we are being very very careful through this Virus scare. We also are not panicking --and definitely not hoarding items/food, etc... People can be nuts at times like this.
Stay healthy and safe.
Hugs,
Betsy

Deletemy corner of the world is kind of quiet, a ride in the car is in my near future!! your images today are really beautiful, i never saw the long tailed ducks this winter, but i have friends that did so i know they were here!! i did however see some loons, they are always at the inlet with the choppy water so they are difficult to photograph, i got a few good ones!!
ReplyDeletei always enjoy seeing you and your shadow...you will be spending a lot of time together now. stay well!!
Hi Debbie, the Long-tailed Ducks seem to be up and down the coast. They are pretty! Thanks for the comment.
DeleteStay safe and healthy, stay calm and happy. Enjoy your day, have a great week!
