Road Trip to the Eastern Shore
/
My husband and I signed up for the field trips offered by Delmarva Birding the last weekend of January. The first one was on Friday afternoon, so we finished packing and left after the morning rush hour. I was still up early enough to see the sunrise. There were enough clouds to hold the light.
The clouds had thickened by the time we left. By the time we got to the Bay Bridge, the water and sky were very gray. The bridge going from east to west is being renovated…I took a picture as we crossed the other span….intending to take more on the way home.
Our first ‘birding’ happened on the road. As we drove near Bridgeville, Delaware - a flock of snow geese flew up from a field. I took a picture as we drove past. That field was the only one we saw with a flock of birds like that. Maybe more grain had been spilled in that field?
The Sunday afternoon, as we were driving back, was cloudy again. The view of the part of the bridge under active construction showed a lot of barriers to catch debris, concrete barriers closing off one lane…and scaffolding.
The view of the other side of the bridge is the same ad usual…the Bay Bridge is an awesome bridge. The traffic was moving smoothly both times we crossed the bridge; I don’t want to be making this drive during the warmer months when the construction with make the traffic more challenging than past summers.
Stay tuned for upcoming posts about our Winter Delmarva Birding Weekend!
