Weekend Weather
Hunted Hoopers Island over the weekend. Saturday turned into one of the windiest days I've ever experienced on the Honga. With gust up to 45 miles per hour, the water was churned up, and whitecapping. In the channel of the river, wind and tide were fighting, creating plumes of spray up to 30 feet in the air:
This shot was taken from the blind. On the right, sunshine, on the left the leading edge of the cold front:
We did have some ok shooting, which inlcuded Bufflehead, Mergansers, Blackheads, and Black Ducks. These Black Ducks swam into the decoys. They were a hen and drake pair. The Hen is on the right, the drake on the left. Though they look similiar, drake black ducks have a yellow bill, while Hens have a mottled bill:
Today, it snowed in Annapolis:
