Here's another shot on Maryland's very flat #EasternShore, this one taken near the #Blackwater Nature Preserve--also near the newish Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Visitor Center--in #Cambridge #Maryland [USA].

Maryland's "Eastern Shore" (i.e., the region to the east of the Chesapeake Bay) is alluvial and very flat, as you can see in this photo of the landscape, with a portion of the bay in the background.

Went looking for snow geese today. It’s quite a sight to see. They arrive in the #Chesapeakebay region, in late November and return to their breeding grounds in the Arctic in early March, traveling through New England and Canada before reaching home. Due to their high numbers, they are actually considered overpopulated in some areas, causing damage to their Arctic breeding grounds.
