St John’s Cemetery Pt I

Today I have a collection of photographs I took of the egrets I saw in Chincoteague. They were by far the bird species I saw the most. Several of them were polite enough to pose for me. I hope you like what I was able to get!

I would definitely reccomend this areaContinue reading “Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge Pt I”
