Conowingo Dam and Nikon Cafe BBQ

Events, Nature, Pictures

Bridget and I joined up with some online freinds from the Nikon Cafe site on Saturday.  We went to Conowingo Dam, which is where US Route 1 crosses over the Susquehanna River, just north of the beginning of the Chesapeake Bay.  Afterwards, we had a BBQ and Portrait photo session.  The day was a bit cold and overcast, but we had a good time anyway.

Here are some pictures of the dam… those fishermen were crazy, it was 50 degrees out, and I imagine the water was even colder:

The dam is a great place for bird watching, and this time of the year there are many Eagles to see.  We were kind of hoping to see an Eagle poop on a Cowboy’s head, but alas we missed that shot!

They were very active, as you can see:

But there were plenty of photographers there with long lenses.  I think the photographer to eagle ratio was about 4:1.

I got some shots of some other little birdies too back at the BBQ:
