Hi All,
Our trip south began with an uneventful 350 mile drive from Bellingham, MA to New Castle, DE. On Tuesday and Wednesday we visited two of the major wildlife refuges along the Atlantic flyway.
It is still early for the bulk of the waterfowl migration but Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge had thousands of shorebirds, mostly dunlin and semipalmated sandpipers. Still some beautiful foliage colors from a distance.
Millions of fiddler crabs occupy the mud flats. Every hole in the mud is someone's home.
Close up foliage is striking as well.
The past two days have been raw and damp but we saw enough different birds to make our visit worthwhile.
Tomorrow we drive to the premiere Atlantic flyway refuge, Chincoteague. Lots of birds and ponies too!
Love,
Sandy & Carl
