Feb 8th-10th, hubby and I were on a getaway to Maryland's Eastern shore, we stopped at Blackwater NWR in Cambridge Md and then onto Ocean City, Md for 2 nights. The first images are from Blackwater Wildlife Refuge and the last ones are from the Ocean City Inlet.
1. At Blackwater, we enjoyed seeing lots of Tundra Swans, Canada Geese, Snow Geese, Northern Pintail and a GB Heron.
I loved this mural with the birds and fish below.
I am linking up to Heidrun's Mosaic Monday I hope you can stop by and visit Heidrun and check out the Mosaic Monday post. I am also joining Sami with Monday Murals

It is always a source of regret for me that we are not on a flyway of Snow Geese. They are such handsome birds and those huge migratory flocks are true spectacles of nature. I have to travel far to experience it. Best wishes - David

ReplyDeleteThank you Jo, for your critter link and comment.
DeleteWatching the sunset is one of my simple pleasures.
Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend.
The snow geese…incredible. I saw a white bird I thought was a gull flying formation with Canada geese in December. The next day, someone posted a photo of a snow goose among the Canada geese in the Summerside Harbour. I guess I’ve seen one snow goose. They are rare here.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marie, for your comment and your visit.
DeleteIt is nice you caught the one Snow Goose flying by.
Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend.
Great photos of the birds you saw on your outing. There is nothing like a good restaurant on the water when vacationing on the coast. The Ropewalk looks like a niced place with great views. I love your sunset photos and your mural find.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting.
Thank you Yogi, for your critter link and comment.
DeleteA restaurant with a pretty view is always a nice choice.
Take care, enjoy your day and happy weekend.
You wonder if the geese ever run into each other when they all take off like that. Nice murals and sunset, Eileen.
ReplyDeleteThank you RedPat! I had the same thought, I am surprised they do not run into each other, there are so many. Take care, have a great day and a happy new week ahead.
DeleteI like those murals a lot and Wow wow wow on that many geese AWESOME! gorgeous photo at the end of the lampposts and sun beams.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sandra!
DeleteI loved those murals, they are perfect for Maryland's Eastern shore.
Have a great day!
That last photo is breathtaking...so gorgeous! And I can not imagine seeing that many birds in the sky. What a sight! Enjoy your weekend and thanks for the party!
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane, for your critter link and your comment. Take care, have a great weekend.
DeleteThe snows are moving through our area as well by the 10's of thousands. So cool to see and hear them! We don't have any Scoters around here, so it is nice to see your pictures. Have a great weekend!

Good morning Eileen, what fun Ropewalk looks like a marvelous place, and the views around it as well. Your weather appears to be quite nice too for this time of year aren't most of really lucky?! Our springing ahead tonight will make daylight even sooner in the morning even though I seem to remember there was talk of us not doing this any longer??? Take care and enjoy the weekend.

ReplyDeleteThank you Sami, I will be on the lookout for more murals. Take care, have a great week!
DeleteThat's a perfect two day getaway in my opinion!! Thanks for sharing it. The number of snow geese is amazing. I've only ever seen that many one time, when we were at Bosque del Apache in New Mexico during migration season. Actually, that's the only time I've ever seen that many of *any* bird at once. It's so wonderful. This post really makes me wish we could visit Blackwater and on to the shore!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sallie! I enjoyed my visit to the Bosque del Apache refuge. We saw the geese and the cranes there in large groups. New Mexico is a great place for birdwatching. Take care, have a great week!
DeleteI always enjoy your photos, thank you Eileen. You took great photos of both wildlife and scenery. I keep forgetting but I wanted to add today how much I enjoy your quotes at the end of each post. Thank you for all that you share and have a great rest of the week.
