Deep Creek Lock Park

Today was the first day of normal "Virginia Winter Weather" -- Maybe a little over normal. It was a beautiful 55-60 degree day with lots and lots of sunshine to melt all of the ICE!

We checked out a Local Park I've never been to before today! We saw lots of birds, I was fortunate enough to get some shots of a few!

These pictures didn't come out to well..lots of shade, and I wasn't prepared. I was just excited to see a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker!
