Snow Geese Images From BWR

After we had gone to the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge in Maryland, work got busy and I did not have time to go through the images I shot there. Catching up on my personal photos I found quite a few to post. These are Snow Geese from the end of February. They kept taking off in mass, making a loop and landing.

Bald Eagle With Fish Head & Tail

I saw this Bald Eagle flying towards me.  As the Eagle got somewhat closer, I noticed it was carrying a fish, but the fish was torn in half. The head & body were in it’s claws and the tail was grasped in its beak. It just seemed strange to see the Eagle with a fish torn in half, flying by me. I have seen them carrying parts of a fish before, but not two separate pieces.

Tundra Swans Flying Off at BWR

A group of Tundra Swans flying off after a large group of Snow Geese took off in mass, disturbing the Swans that were off to the side of the Snow Geese at the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. The Swans took off and flew to an area farther away from the Snow Geese where it was quieter.
