More Birds at Eastern Neck NWR

.

Surrounded by the Chester River, Eastern Neck Island is 2,285 acres and hosts the Eastern Neck NWR.  It is accessible by crossing the Eastern Neck bridge to the island.  The refuge includes a ramp nearby for launching small boats and kayaks.

This fella gets two photos posted, he is just too adorable and the holly berries in the background gave a nice bonus to the shots.
