Birds at Blackwater NWR
After leaving those gorgeous Great Blue Herons on Middle Hoopers Island last Sunday, heading back home luckily passes back through vast marsh remoteness that includes Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. Although there wasn’t much in bird activity, I did manage to get a few photos I liked passing along the way.

And I’ll end with this amazing encounter of eight Bald Eagles, grouped together at a field puddle.
