Loons, Mergansers, Snow Geese and More



Snow geese take flight several times a day at the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge.  They are a spectacular sight, although a fraction of the numbers on other refuges...



We also encountered this Northern shoveler at Blackwater...



We stopped at the refuge after our failed attempt to locate a snowy owl on Assateague Island.  We did encounter some loons in the nearby Ocean City inlet...







Closer to home, common mergansers have been, well, common...






A pair of hooded mergansers visited for a day...




Like these birds, we are anxious to gain flight for our journey to the West...


Thank you for visiting, be well, and come back soon.  I hope you will follow our trek to the "shining mountains".
