Wildlife Drive
Pocosin Lakes National Wildlife Refuge
North Carolina, May 2023
I enjoyed the scenery at Pocosin Lakes just as much as I enjoyed the wildlife on our visit.
In addition to seeing a small handful of bears I also observed Red-headed Woodpecker, Blue Grosbeak, and Indigo Buntings.

We heard that the Pungo Lake area was the place to be to easily observe bears though this was only bear we came across on our drive. Still a nice place for nature exploration.

Foggy morning in Rockaway Valley
Boonton Twp NJ
May 2023
I was able to park my car yesterday and shoot a few frames before the morning fog dissipated.
Another note of interest- my internet research reveals that this agricultural property near the corner of Rockaway Valley Road and Valley Road was the first preserved farmland in Boonton Township.
