Today neighbor Deb & I headed down to the Conowingo Dam in Maryland
(a 2 hour drive) to do some Bald Eagle watching.
The largest population in the east coast is found here.
You never know what you will see or not see.
|
|
this is what it looked like when we first arrived.
NOT optimal bird watching conditions
|
|
|
|
this was the first Eagle I saw. I wasn’t sure if we would
see more or if conditions would improve so I snapped
this photo
