Skywatch Friday a foggy Assateague morning

Howdee all...

This is my first time doing Skywatch Friday.
If you havent seen what Skywatch Friday is about..click on the link above.

Jeff and I are birding here on Assateague....So I type this morning looking out the windows of Our Homey(the name I gave to our fulltime Home on wheels)
Its a foggy, still morning...
The birdies just came out and I am watching the yellow rumps and other little brown birds ..ha ha (sparrows) foraging on the ground and the distant views of the wild ponies.
Jeff has gone out for his early morning bird while I sip my tea and post a few pictures I just took from the stair step of my Homey..
So here they are...a foggy Assateague morning..

Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge featuring Snow Geese


Howdee all,

Jeff and I went to Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge a few days ago....
Wow
Snow geese show...
I took some video...and yes the normal Dawn shaking and wind noise because of my little cheap point and shoot...but...hopefully you will enjoy the snow geese show...
Wish you were there....

Assateague National Wildlife refuge..and another quiz...


Howdee all,

It was a cold morning here in assateague and I didn't want to get out of bed....we have no electrical hookups for the Homey here and rely on our generator...so no heat used unless it is necessary. At night we keep the temp around fifty...so in the am its chilly...
This morning when we turned the heat on it seemed like it took forever to warm up...so i just hung out in bed and read my birdie blogs.
Jeff went out birding in the am...when he got home we ate lunch ..
We decided to go for an exercise walk up to the state park and back along the beach...
Its so nice to have the beach to yourself...no one there this time of year....We love off season...
We did a little birding...saw a red throated loon...a lifer for us...Jeff did most of the looking up..
as i was having fun looking down to see what treasures i could find in the sand....

Which brings me to the quiz....
What plastic item was most seen this beach...leftover from beach goers ....
and a bonus question is what is the second most plastic item seen on the beach???
Good luck...

below is where we are camped at the refugee...
there are only two others in our section of the campground...we have a lovely site on the bay side...with views of the water...rather than the ocean side with views of the dunes...
we are also visited by some of the wild horses..
