What a welcoming sight to see as I got out of my car to walk down the Tubby Cove Boardwalk at Eastern Neck NWR.

I watched the eagle for a couple minutes as it soared, getting further and further away. Beautiful!
The short marsh boardwalk ends in a clump of trees, where I found several curious Yellow-rumped Warblers. I lucked out with one shot in the thick brush they were hiding in.

Just pass them, I entered the duck blind and peeked out of one of the holes. Hmmmm….no birds or ducks.
I glanced around inside the duck blind, and….whoa….backed out quickly when I saw this active wasp nest above me in the ceiling corner.
