Blackwater NWR Sunsets

Here are some Colorful Sunsets from a few different visits over the years to the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge near Cambridge, Maryland. Besides photographing Eagles & other birds it is a Great place to photograph colorful sunrises & sunsets. The featured image was taken along the Wildlife Drive with a Canon 24-105mm lens @40mm, Canon 1Ds mkII.

    Clouds are essential for me! They often determine If I will go out on a evening shoot!

Gorgeous, Reed!! I’ve been staying in contact with BNWR, the Snow Geese are there. They also did two surveys in past weeks, 156 Eagles and 167 White Pelicans were counted. 😊

  Thanks Donna! Wow! That many Eagles & White Pelicans! Two of my favorite photo subjects there. I know in the Winter they have one the largest concentrations of Bald Eagles in the Northeast. But did not know it was that many! We have decided to stay close to home during COVID restrictions! Thanks again!
