Wye Marsh excursion, August 22, 2024.
Sandy T. was making sure we were all well fitted with a life jacket.
Canoes that were used by our group.
Everyone was provided with life jackets and paddles.
The crew was very helpful in getting us in the canoes.
We had 3 canoes and were following each other through the marsh. Some areas were a bit difficult to get through, but we had fun !!!
Little Eastern Phoebe that wasn't shy
Our bird handler introduced us to the Merlin, a small falcon the size of a jay.
We met the Red-eared Slider turtle (non-native). This little girl was very active.
Our bird handler brought the Great Horned Owl. What a beauty !!!
We learned how to identify the Snapping Turtle. Our little friend here is a bit overweight !!!
