Our 2 day road trip to Maryland's Eastern shore also included a quickie trip to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Delaware.
I enjoy seeing the American Avocets, Egrets and the Glossy Ibis at this wildlife reduge.
American Avocets seen with a Yellowlegs?
Various Egrets and a Great Blue heron was seen in the area below with some Clapper Rail chicks.
A closeup look at the muddy area above provided great views of a few Clapper Rail juveniles.
The Clapper Rails blend in well with the mud, can you find 2 juvies in the photo below?
A Clapper Rail juvenile runs across the muddy water toward a Great Blue Heron.
The Mute Swans are not native swans in Maryland. The Tundra Swan is a native swan in Maryland, usually the Tundra Swan can be seen in the winter months.
The Black-necked Stilt is a breeder at this wildlife refuge. I did not see any chicks.
Shore birds, I believe these are the Long-billed Dowitchers maybe mixed with Short-billed Dowitchers.
Random rants and in the news, for the critter lovers:
Are changes coming to the Endangered Species Act? Are Corporations profits more important than protection of an animal species. Apparently it is OK now to pollute habitats and cut down trees on once protected national lands. The Spotted Owl and other birds are at risk. We need to preserve and protect for the future. What happens when all the animals are extinct, what will people do when all the animals are gone.
In Maryland, the Chespeake Bay is a treasure. Keep it clean.
In Maryland, we need to keep clean water for the oysters, we need a check on the warming water. Fish will die from living in polluted waters. Overfishing and crabbing can have a big effect on the blue crabs and a favorite Rockfish.
Being an animal lover, I can not understand how some people think animals are put on this planet for the sole purpose of human use.
