This is Bill’s Seafood in Chincoteague, Virginia on the Eastern Shore and the town is famous for the Chincoteague Ponys and the swim that takes place every July. But for photographers and especially those that wish to photograph birds, it is a wonderland. This year in early December the count was a bit low but the week after the numbers increased significantly. I was there at the invitation of Dennis Mook who goes each year with three of his friends. I was honored to be invited but their judgement seems a bit lacking as they appeared to invite me to the next outing as well. I had a super time. Bill’s is a fine place to enjoy local seafood andI highly recoomend it if you visit. As well as a shout out to the Island Creamery, one of the top ten ice creams (Marsh Mud is amazing) in the country, IMHO.
And Santa in a sleigh with his cocktail in hand being pulled by the actual Jumbo Shrimp, is clearly a unique decoration. My vote for the most intriguing of 2020.
