Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge

Is located on the eastern shore of MD in the part of MD that is attached to Delaware. This was our most disappointing stop. It was drizzling on and off. The refuge is known for osprey and eagles at this time of year. We saw them but they were mostly quite far away. The other birds were scarce.(It is a major flyway during migration periods).
Click on an image to enlarge. Several of them have been heavily cropped so will be a bit grainy.
