My post for Scenic Sunday
MY post on the Chincoteague ponies is here http://travelwitheileen.blogspot.com/2011/04/chincoteague-ponies.html
On both days during our visit to Chincoteague we hiked on the marsh trail. The 1/2 mile marsh trail is restricted to foot traffic only and offers excellant views of the freshwater ponds and habitat and has an elevated observation deck.
I hope you enjoyed my scenic view of Chincoteague, it is one of my favorite parks to visit. Please check out Scenic Sunday for more great photos. Thanks to the host of Scenic Sunday and thanks for stopping by my post.

Cattle Egret
Green winged teal
I believe these are Dunlins but, I could be wrong. A lot of shorebirds look alike to me. I am still learning by looking at the beaks and leg colors to help iding these birds.
I liked watching the large group of Dunlins take off in flight only to land a short distance away.
By the elevated observation platfrom we saw large groups of Green Winged Teals and Northern Shovelers, Mallards, Black Ducks and Canada Geese.
There were also large groups of Northern Shovelers
There were many Tree Swallows flying about and around this birdhouse.
