Conowingo Dam




On my way back from DC on Saturday I stopped by Conowingo Dam to make up for the trip I missed on Friday.  I got there about 40 minutes before sunset so I didn't have a lot of time.  The flock of Common Mergansers flew overhead immediately after I finished adjusting my camera settings.  Nice timing.  None of the eagle people blinked.  There were a few eagles flying about but nothing I could really get.  The warning alarm sounded, you can see the red lights in the second photo, and they opened up a few turbines.  I think the gulls understood the alarm because they came running from everywhere to feast.
