Hiking: Mason Neck State Park

Mason Neck State Park is very close- promising views of Bald Eagles and other bird species.  We went one Saturday morning before Christmas and it was freezing cold so the wind off the Bay was killing us!  Mac had no hat so Jay created one from one of Pete's baby blankets.  Here's Ruthie exploring a beautiful patch of moss.

 We found a cool Tunnel-tree.

 Overlooking the marshy flats.

 This is one of the bird blinds where you can hang out and watch birds.  I think when the birds see us coming they decide on a last minute migration to South America.  (In this picture Mac's improvised hood now looks like a neck pillow.)
