I went to Conowingo Dam on Friday (3/18/22). Initially there was heavy fog so I had to wait until a bit after 10am to get some shots. Then the activity started. There were many adult, adultescent, and juvenile eagles as well as the usual cormorants and great blue herons. There were a couple of falcons but I never saw them well enough to get a shot. Almost all of the activity was over 700 feet away and my 500mm lens + 2x TC I wouldn’t have gotten more than a hand full of shots. Unfortunately, I didn’t see any of the birds dive for fish, not even the cormorants which is unusual. Below are a few of those posted on Flickr - the rest can be viewed at https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzGnVj

Thanks, Ken. Driving there was tough - only about 100 feet visibility at times. But I knew it would clear.
