John Heinz Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum in SW Philly has been absolutely bumpin' with all sorts of wildlife this spring.
On just about any decent weather day, you can see 6-10 Ospreys often calling and fishing together, Terns dive bombing for smaller fish, and even Bald Eagles, although they tend to stay farther away and so I haven't yet gotten a good action shot of one grabbing a fish.
There are more turtles than you can imagine, pretty large fish jumping clear out of the water, ducks, swans, geese, smaller and more colorful common song birds, and so much more.
It is such a pleasure to have this right here and so close. It's 15m from work which means if I don't want to deal with traffic just yet, I can go shoot for a little bit and by the time I leave, it's usually lightened up enough for a smooth ride home.
