DWG Wildlife Pictures

We saw a lot of of wildlife when we were in the water gap, and got a few pictures but most of it we didn't manage to photograph. Some of the critters we saw were a very large and long-haired skunk who sauntered through the camp without a care while I was cooking one evening.  She dug through the fire-pit a bit, clearly looking for leftovers, then mosied on down to the river. I'll admit I was more concerned with keeping myself at a distance than grabbing the camera but she was really beautiful.

There were several deer that had no worries about strolling along the road, Rob even biked behind one for a ways who just couldn't be bothered to run away.

In the field on the way to the bathroom several bunnies and a couple of woodchucks, also fairly fearless were spotted. 

The most variety though was in the water, so many ducks, herons, geese, fish, frogs...and the occasional canoe and kayakers.  I was still figuring out the camera so the pictures aren't very good but I just loved this duck's head-feathers.  

 We found this interesting guy crawling on Rob's bike. Now that's a "do not touch" display if I ever saw one!

On the island in the river a heron landed to do some fishing.

 And here's a non-zoom photo, just for perspective (and to show that our camera is awesome!)

Next time I get to internet I'll put up the pictures from the pine barrens and Assateague.
