Occoquan National Wildlife Refuge

This morning at the Occoquan NWR we saw many ospreys flying around and gathering materials for nests.
There’s an eagle’s nest in the refuge as well.




Birders love the Occoquan refuge. We saw this group from the other side of the marsh.

    Hello,:=) Those views look like the kind of places I would enjoy. I wish that I was out on the trails again. I enjoyed looking at all your photos, especially of the Osprey and the Turtles.:=)

    So nice you are seeing new territory (or old territory again!). That turtle photo is a prize-winner.
