Maryland: The Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River
 |
| Many eagles and other large birds frequent the area near the dam because the fishing is good. |
 |
| A large flock of Black Vultures were on the grass. They hardly noticed us. |
Back Home in Ann Arbor: Spring Flowers at Last
 |
| Despite the flowers, it's still quite cold and cloudy here. |
UPDATE: Who says it’s spring?

Wow, that is a lot of raptors all in one place. It feels like the seasons are off. We are still experiencing summer winds which have usually stopped by now.
ReplyDeleteImpressive dam. And that one bird (Vulture?) looks funny. Yay for spring-flowers!
ReplyDeleteHello Mae, :=) Delightful post, with great sightings of birds, and lovely spring flowers. Your close up portraits of the Bald Eagle and Vulture are terrific.
ReplyDeleteHello Mae,
ReplyDeleteI am glad you were able to visit the Conowingo Dam and the Susquehanna River. Great captures of the Bald Eagles, GB Herons and the Vultures. Your flowers are looking beautiful. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, enjoy your weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
I like all these pictures. The closeup of the eagle is amazing. Beautiful flowers too.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a vulture before. Scary bird. Loved the bald eagle, though. Nice that spring has arrived where you live, Mae.
ReplyDeleteThose are great bird sightings and photos May. Seeing and eagle is always a thrill. And you have flowers too. Ann Arbor is definitely ahead of us here in my point on the map. Happy weekend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWe get large gatherings of vultures in the parks in Florida- That is an interesting close up of that bird- quite ugly looking.
ReplyDeleteHow amazing to see so many large birds! And the Eagles are always amazing to see. I wish I could learn more of the wildflower names. They are blooming like crazy here too! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful photos. Have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are way ahead of ours. Did you get snow last night?
ReplyDeleteoh how thrilling to see the bald eagles and to perhaps be so close to them ( depending on the capability of your camera's zoom lens)!!
ReplyDeletethe sky is so beautiful and the flowers are so welcoming this time of year. i won't acknowledge your update, spring is right around the corner!!
Nice shots,
ReplyDeleteSpring is here.
Nice capture of the dam. The vulture looks pretty impressive and the flowers tell us spring is here.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, as usual.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I miss about selling the lake place is seeing the large birds that hang out near the water.
The bald eagle and vulture close-ups are fantastic!
Beautiful pictures
ReplyDeleteA dusting of overnight snow and very cold temps here have stopped spring flowers in their tracks for a few days, I think. Can't wait. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week!
Loving the vultures! I've never seen so many at one time.
ReplyDeleteThe dam is quite stately looking. Loving the creatures you found to snap! And, then, the snow came again...spring will get there eventually :)
ReplyDeleteThat dam looks like a Paradise for the raptors and therefore also for the birders lucky enough to visit. ... I hope you finally have some Spring weather. I love seeing the early blooms, hope they survived the late snow.
ReplyDeletePretty pics! Spring is trying to break through!
