Northern Pintails |
Mallards |
Further down the island were hundreds of black ducks, Canada Geese, and Mallards. I was looking for some Redheads that have been hanging out at a pool on the southern end but did not spot them -- I was freezing and wishing I had my Vermont winter gear on. I did see a couple of pair of handsome Northern Pintails.
As I was leaving, a Great Blue Heron alighted in a marsh just off the road and posed as I slowed the truck and shot its picture out the window.
The refuge is such a wonderful resource for birding. Bird walks from Joppa Flats Education Center go there most Wednesdays and Saturdays and you can keep up with observations and news by joining the Yahoo Plum Island Birds group.
