Mason Neck State Park - No Eagles Again!

We haven't been there for at least as long as we've had our new Subaru - which is two years. So we ventured out to Mason Neck Park in Lorton, Virginia. We drove by way of Mount Vernon along the GW Parkway. The place boasts eagle sightings, but we have yet to see one there. It doesn't matter what time of the year or time of the day. They simply don't exist. In fact, this trip nothing was in sight - no birds, no wildlife, not even any insects! I think we see more animals in our urban neighborhood - hawks, fox, squirrels! Regardless, we took a walk along the trail. It was quite serene, the perfect temperature, and just long enough. On the way out we saw a bride and groom in the forest having photos taken. Since I was driving home I didn't get a shot of it. We will need to go back out that way in a couple more weeks when the weather gets even crisper and the leaves turn to vibrant reds and oranges - except we will try Pohick Park. Maybe we will have better luck there. It was a great way to spend an afternoon on a lovely day in October - even without the eagle.
