Hi Everyone,  

Enjoyed a breezy day at Blackwater Saturday for the Eagle Festival. Drove the 
wildlife drive and then spent the whole afternoon on the backroads to 
Cedarcreek rd. While driving down Cedarcreek rd. we ran into 2 SHORT EARED 
OWLS onescanningthe marsh very close to us for half hour . Got one good 
picture when the owl flew eye level at about 100 feet away . Also Mom saw 
an Eagle in a low small bushy tree right beside the road (Toddsville road) about 
7 feet off the ground. Got my best Eagle picture ever. Thanks Mom !
