The Chincoteague NWR Marsh Trail is a 0.9 mile loop trail and is a lovely to walk. But watch out for mosquitoes and ticks. The marsh trail is a smaller loop within the larger wildlife loop. It features a short marsh boardwalk and an observation deck.
I heard about a half dozen Northern bobwhites during our stay. Their call sounds like their name (Northern Bobwhite Sounds). This one obliged the group and by coming out onto the path. What a treat!
The Eastern meadowlark was at the limit of the range of my 600 mm lens. I used Topaz Photo AI to rescue the image.









You found some beautiful sights along that short trail.
Nature always provides. We only have to look. 🙂
You made good use of that 600mm lens – especially as if it is anything like mine it is very heavy
It is heavy but not as heavy as the one I sold. I have the 180-600 mm Nikon Z lens. I sold my DSLR version that I used on the Nikon 750mm, which I also sold. The before processing image for the meadowlark was a blur. You would be impressed at how AI fixed it.
