Winter wildlife!

Christmas shopping done, fit in among visits with children, grand children and friends were a couple of visits to the Oceanside Marine Study Area with camera.

This 50 acre preserve on Hempstead Lagoon/Bay lies a few miles East of our Island Park home and is winter home to dozens of Mallard ducks and Canadian Geese. A few beautiful white swans have also taken us residency there.

The tall grasses against the winter blue sky.
