A Beautiful Day in Maryland and Pennsylvania

At the Conowingo Dam on the Susquehanna River

The main attraction at the Conowingo Dam is the numerous eagles that nest there and fish in the river.
Arny and Tracy drove us to this wonderful birding site this morning.


Many Black Vultures also hang around the dam.


The viewing area attracts lots of birders! (I liked this random t-shirt.)

Good Things to Eat



Was the seafood local to the area, we asked? YES, clams, oysters, crab and more were all from the local waters.
In fact, the waitress said, there was a delivery truck there at the moment.
Above is the fried oyster and chicken salad plate.

Garden salad with a crabcake. An absolutely wonderful crabcake!

A crabcake sandwich.

Mid-afternoon stop at an Amish dairy for ice cream.

Hello Mae,
Awesome shots of the Eagles. The Black Vultures do like hanging out near the dam. I love the covered bridge, they are fun to find. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend.

Hello Mae :=)
What a lovely day out, and you took stupendous eagle images, and the large close up is extra special. Engaging landscapes, enticing seafood meals, and ice-cream for desert, what more could anyone want! :=)

The bald eagle photos are amazing. I love the covered bridge too- so typical of the area.

What an amazing post. Loved the eagle photos and laughed at the tee shirt. What got me wa all the food. To my knowledge I have never had a crab cake, but that crab that comes in salads here tastes phony, so I suspect real crab might taste better.
