Carol, early in the thread, the photos were taken at Bombay Hook, DE. Most of the duck photos were taken on the Cambridge, MD waterfront. The latter photos (and Bald Eagle) were taken at Blackwater yesterday. The Killdeer photos were actually taken at Fort Smallwood. The Hooded Merganser pair was taken at Down's Park. Cedar Waxwings tend to be very nomadic. They come and they go ..... Bald Eagles visit Fort Smallwood each year and maybe stick around for a week or two but have never nested. I wonder if the Osprey will re-build their nest there that was blown down last year. Make sure that you visit Down's Park when the Osprey arrive.

On my way home yesterday, I pulled into Sandy Point State Park to see if any deer were out. It was starting to get dark, so I stopped the car and adjusted my camera for low light. Well, I screwed up and way over compensated. Little did I know what I was about to see .... a piebald white-tail buck. The shutter speed was too slow, the ISO too high, etc., etc. Anyway, you can at least tell what it is. I'm surprised he still has last year's antlers.
