My Day: Harriet Tubman and the Birds

My second visit to the Harriet Tubman museum outside of Cambridge, MD, took place yesterday.  Wrote about it once, and won’t again.  Except to say that it’s a wonderful, approachable museum that is well worth the visit, and a visit will make it clear to you why Tubman’s picture should be on the $20 bill.

After visiting the museum, we went to the nearby Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, 30,000 acres of marshland, home to teems of birds.  Even on a cloudy November afternoon, enormous flocks of blackbirds, and waterways filled with swans and ducks and egrets and herons, along with the occasional hawk and vulture could be seen.  Imagine it in season.
