Assateague Island in Winter - Photos

Most of these photos were taken by Alan Sklar...
An American Woodcock

Sunset, 29 January 2017

One of the Maryland foals born last summer (possibly Chama's)

Bayberries (wax myrtle) grow wild on Assateague - the waxy coating on
the berries is extremely nourishing, but very few creatures can digest 
it.  They include the yellow-rumped warbler...

the tree swallow, which flocks here in large numbers,

and the "Sika deer", which are Japanese elk.
