These images are from day two of our getaway to Ocean City, we also stopped at the Indian River Inlet in Delaware and a visit to Assateague Island is always a must.  


1. We started off with a pretty sunrise from our Ocean City hotel, our first stop for the day was at the Indian River Inlet in Delaware. We saw lots of Brant Geese, Sanderlings, Long-tailed Ducks, Great Cormorants and there were some surfers out catching the waves. 





2. Also at the Indian River Inlet were some Red-breasted Mergansers with the pretty Long-tailed Ducks.





3. A wind blown Great Blue Heron near the campground at Indian River Inlet. 





4. On the Delaware beach we saw a big flock of Sanderlings.  






5. At the Indian River Inlet we can always see the Long-tailed Ducks, this flock was flying back and forth at the inlet.  




6.  Loon with a crab, seen at the Indian River Inlet.




7. We stopped at the Ocean City Inlet to look for more sea ducks, we saw the Surf Scoter, more Long-tailed Ducks, Sanderlings, Ruddy Turnstones and some Purple Sandpipers.  





8. We saw a Surf Scoter at the Ocean City Inlet. The male has a colorful with a black, white, red and orange bill. 







9. Next we headed to Assateague Island National Seashore. We walked on the Marsh Trail and the Forest trail. We saw more Great Blue Herons and Sanderlings and a flock of Mergansers.  





10. The beach at Assateague Island National Seashore is always a pretty sight. 




11. The Assateague Ponies are always a favorite sight to see. 





I hope you enjoyed day two of our getaway.

Feb 8th-10th, hubby and I were on a getaway to Maryland's Eastern shore, we stopped at Blackwater NWR in Cambridge Md and then onto Ocean City, Md for 2 nights. The first images are from Blackwater Wildlife Refuge and the last ones are from the Ocean City Inlet. 


1. At Blackwater, we enjoyed seeing lots of Tundra Swans, Canada Geese, Snow Geese, Northern Pintail and a GB Heron. 




At Blackwater NWR, it is a treat to see the Snow geese, this huge group of Snow Geese was out on the Blackwater River. 






While we sat in our car and watched the Snow Geese, they all flew up, circled around and came back down and landed on the river. They are extremely loud, an Eagle or Hawk must have upset them.











A landscape image of Blackwater, lots of Tundra Swans, Canada Geese and a variety of ducks. 








We did some birdwatching and wave watching at the Ocean City Inlet.  Birds seen below are top row are the Surf Scoter and a Ruddy Turnstone with Sanderlings. Bottom row are male and female Bufflehead with a Red-breasted Merganser.











We had dinner at the Ropewalk restaurant in Ocean City, located on the bay side. A perfect spot to watch the sunset while having dinner. They had some beautiful murals on the walls outside the restaurant. 




The murals are pretty scenes, Maryland fishermen with gulls and another mural of the sea creatures and birds in flight.





I loved this mural with the birds and fish below.




From inside the restaurant we watch the pretty sunset on Ocean City's bay.
