Rode a 15 mile loop including Blackwater's wildlife drive. It's gotten chilly. Thankfully I have plenty of cold weather biking gear to choose from. Everything was warm but my nose. A runny nose seems to be part of cold weather biking.
The wildlife was fairly unremarkable. The migratory waterfowl still haven't shown up in any appreciable numbers. The first duck season starts this weekend.
I startled a pair of Canada geese and they took off in directly opposite directions. It was kind of cool. On the way home I scared an immature bald eagle off of something dead. It's always impressive to see them up close.
Below is a picture of a church along my route (map link). Though in need of serious repair, it's not abandoned as so many others in the area are.
Also below is a house on the site of the planned Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park (map link). I understand that it's free for the taking, if you can remove it from the site. I didn't look in any windows, but folks who have been inside say it has some wonderful features.
