Nov 16, 2016 Fall Birding OLLI Field Trip to Indian River and more

This trip is a GO....and it should be good. Just today I was out on the Chesapeake Bay fishing and saw lots of good winter waterfowl and seabirds. A few nice examples were Long-tailed Duck, Horned Grebe, N. Gannet, and Common Loon.

So I look forward to seeing all who can make tomorrow's trip. The weather looks great, and I expect many good birds.

And my apologies to those who missed my last weeks blog post that that trip was cancelled due to a forecast of all morning rain and drizzle.....which did happen, but not as severe as forecast.

Edelen's Nature Preserve

This was the 2nd location we visited on our last class, 9/18/13. Bob was thoughtful enough to send me some photos and an article he wrote about Black Gums. That was the tree we first stopped by and watched all the Robins feeding on the fruit. Bob's photos of Black Gums and Wood Ducks are below: (Click on images to enlarge, note index at bottom, click on blank area around photo to return here.)
