Hotel Zephyr
250 Beach Street, San Francisco, CA
0.3 km from
Games room and outside space No restaurant but they offered discounts to other restaurants.
Great location! Very close to pier 39. Comfortable bed and pillow. Soundproof was rather poor. I can hear people walking by my room and chatting very clearly.
Sight seeing and shoping No
Location..decor...staff...service...all were great!!!
The staff was friendly. Concierge restaurant recommendations on the money. The location was excellent. Rained the entire weekend-but no matter the hotels had huge umbrellas for their quests. Lighting could have been better when you entered the room (outside bathroom.) Prefer bathroom sink outside of bath/shower area. Allows two people to get ready at same time.
Excellent as usual. Staff very helpful with an early check-in.
Location to Fisherman's Wharf Walls were a little thin. Could hear the people below us. I was really excited about the rate I got for this hotel compared to other websites so I told my sister about it. She booked a room at this hotel for the following week and got a rate $110.00 cheaper than mine, higher floor and better view, so I was a little bummed about that.
Location and comfort
Big positives: cleanliness and size of room, very cheery staff, newer hotel. Somewhat kitschy decor that was also endearing . Cool rough hewn wood beams in room. As a former San Franciscan touristy Fisherman's Wharf wouldn't be my first choice but appreciated quietness of area. Far cleaner, quiet than Union Square or SOMA. Better value than Union Square, much nicer than motels on Lombard. Heard some guests making noise in hall in middle of night.
The room was very comfortable, in particular the bed and pillows were comfy.
Quirky rooms decor & staff Lack of facilities no hotel bar or estaurants although there are independent providers attached to hotel. No pool.
Location location location The hallways have an unpleasant odor; however, the room did not - thank goodness.
evberyone was great and very helpful the location was perfect our view was a wall
Great location Price
Location and staff were great Overdue for renovation
Dated but clean. Need a new decorator when they renovate. Horrible.
It was close to the bay, can walk easily to restaurants and attractions. There were no included amenities for the price. Parking is an extra $52 plus $7.50 a night tax. Wifi is $15 a night +tax. You have to call up for more than the 2 creamers for your coffee when they leave 3 packs of coffee. The noise was absolutely terrible as the bus station was right outside our window. Overall for the price it was very run down with very little to offer for calling itself a 4 star hotel.
Nothing Poor bathroom and shower.
I liked the proximity to the wharf and the activities. Wifi being an extra charge was beyond my understanding. I do not understand how a business that charges as much as it did for its daily rate, did not have it included in the cost.
Close to warf. Parking wAs $50 on top of hotel room fee. Not cool. I've stayed at much nicer hotels for a lot less. You're paying for location
Very little Bathroom unpleasant room right next to loading fock
The beds were absolutely fantastic!!! The rooms were comfortable. The young man at the registration desk, around 1 or 2 PM on 12/05/126, was very courteous, helpful, and went beyond just being nice. Our hats off to his customer relations skills. thank you to him because of him we would return. We needed more coffee and cups and they were delivered promptly and with a smile. Again Thanks!! Tub and toilet area!
Staff EXCELLENT Noisy room
We will stay at no other hotel when we are in San Francisco
I really enjoyed the location. We were able to leave our car parked in the garage while we walked around. While checking into the hotel the lady got smart with me numerous times. When I asked about the noise level she gave me a smart reply. Parking was expensive! By the time they added on the hotel tax it was almost 60 bucks!
Got to the check in desk and found out there was a hidden fee of $30 for internet and other incidentals. Bait and Switch
I loves the fresh but edgy rooms. Do the valet parking.
The room cleanliness and decor. Customer service-I had requested a 1 bed and they initially gave me a double. So we had to go change rooms. Then at 6am there's was a fire drill so everyone had to evacuate but the issue is that the staff never offered an apology.
Excelent bed, shower, big room, quiet. Staff from front desk confusing and not gentle. Didn'tgive important information. Lounge vip not worthy.
Feels like an adventure since it appears to be on a us ship!
Location Booked and paid extra for king bed, when we checked in there were none available, so still had to pay extra for 2 queens.
The staff was awesome! So attentive and willing to help make our stay better. The concierge called to make sure all of our tour and restaurant plans were taken care of properly. Great job!
Clean, renovated, stylish, friendly, with a perfect location. Not a the over priced dirty old hotel usually available for the price in the warf. I did not pick the hotel or we wouldn't have stayed in this area. I was WRONG. They've saved an old hotel from being an awful tourist trap. I was anticipating mushrooms growing on the carpets and paint from the 70's. But it was as clean as a Hampton in or Holiday in express I would usually use during the week for work. Location is at the end of the war so getting in and out of there was easy. It's also at the end of Columbus state getting into little Italy and over to China town were also simple. Again, I did not expect this clean of a room for that close to $200 in this area. Would stay here again if asked to. Charged for waters. Hotel elevator room card reader. In room AC could have worked better, but it was well enough that we didn't bother to complain. Not enough outlets. Though there are charging stations in the room, only 1 next to the bed and the other shut off when the TV was off. Stairwell doors all need new door closers. Bed looked lumpy but slept fine.
Great location and friendly staff N/A
The service, location and amenities were incredible. Very comfy beds! Everything was perfect, except the shower would clogg a bit. Would definetly recommend
Super clean New and very spacious rooms Air scent in lobby TOO strong which appears to be overdone these days in many hotel lobbies
I liked that we were in walking distance of the wharf and North Shore. A few blocks from the congestion of fisherman's wharf gave us some peace and quiet. We were able to sleep with the window's open without the noise from the streets or groups of people invading our space.
Great location. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We had 2 doubles and the beds sagged in the middle. Very hard for two people to sleep in a bed. Kept rolling into eachother. Please update mattresses.
Price, Location, access to taxi's. I requested the earliest possible check in time, and after my flight landed on the day of check in, the Hotel text me and said that I couldn't check in until after 3pm. I didn't have a rental car so I had to drag my luggage around downtown SF. I also requested to have a room with a view and a room on the highest floor possible. I was put on the 3rd floor with a window facing the hotels interior roof top. Zero view. There were large cobwebs above the bathroom door frame, the top sheet of my bed was yellowed on the underside and there were a few small stain marks on the sheets that were either wine, juice, or blood. King size bed was not comfortable at all. I HATE the hotels TV/entertainment system. The remote has a rollerball to control a mouse on the screen that is so small you can't read it unless you are sitting in the chair at the desk. Least user-friendly system I've ever used in a hotel. It's like you are watching tv through the computer's "tv application". Really strange.
The hotel was clean and convenient to getting around the city, especially the piers and fidi, which is why we chose it. The neighborhood is very touristy, which means the restaurants aren't great, nor is the shopping, but it's close to some tourist attractions if that's the purpose of your visit. The outdoor pool and spa were an added bonus! The hotel also offered laundry machines on each floor which was nice (though detergent should be included in the cost!). The room itself was very clean, comfortable and modern. There were USB plugs and big, bright windows as well as an ottoman for lounging while working. The included wifi isn't super fast, but can be upgraded if needed. Some of the desk staff was less knowledgeable and friendly than I would have expected, but others were great and made up for it!
Close to the wharf and waterfront Huge construction going on. Had to take side door, make shift reception area. Didnt really feel welcome. would have preferred to stay elsewhere had I known about it.
Location was close to wharf activities Food and shopping choices were abundant. Location had some logistic predicaments Cable car hub is nearby but there was an accident so I had to take a bus but it didn't go to my END point and I had to walk 5 blocks UPHILL
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The facility was clean and comfortable and you couldn't ask for a better location for Fisherman's Wharf.
Location Price confirmed by booking.com was not registered with the hotel. When they tried to charge a higher rate, I had to present the confirmation email from booking.com in order to get it adjusted down to the confirmed amount.
I was here on business. I was very pleased with my room and the staff. My room was really clean and the workout room had many treadmills. The only thing negative comments would be minor so I won't even mention them. Thank you Hyatt !!
The place was gorgeous, clean and spacious But they were so understaffed. We checked in at 430pm and did not receive our crib for the baby until close to 10pm! We had to call them once to remind and I had to remind them at the counter when I came back from the store. We also added some items for them to bring up like baby shampoo and toothpaste, etc. when housekeeping came up at 930pm, he only brought the small items. I asked about the pack and play and he said they never told him. I assumed he was going to ring our toothpaste and the bedding for the baby, no. They didn't tell him about the toothpaste either!!!!! He had to come back twice!!! It was late and waaaaay past the kids bedtime. Sooooo annoying. The ladies at the counter made it seem like they would take care of everything but they didn't. One of them even asked me about the crib check in. Very disappointed.
We walked into our room and decided to check the beds before we went to sleep because we heard of bed bugs at this hotel. And to our surprise we found a condom! We called the front desk and they sent up a security guard (not a manager, which was weird). They switched our room but offered no other accommodations. After we called to complain they said they couldn't do anything more than they did...they also mentioned they would call us back and never did. Not a good experience.... I can understand a messy room, maybe a cigarette but an open condom on the bed is unacceptable.
The hotel is conveniently located within walki g distance to main attractions in a beautiful city!
Staff extremely friendly and considerate, great location. Parking way too expensive, and maid would knock on our door way too early. Should wait until 10 not 8. Breakfast too expensive for not the best food.
The hotel is very 2 blocks away from any event or attraction I found 2 spiders in my bed . I just killed them .
Der Pool. Die Lage. Frühstück Buffet.
Proximity to the wharf 1. Found a man's underwear in the drawer. 2. I was never informed I would be charged an additional$100 on the day of our check-in. I saw the charge on my online visa statement and told only after my inquiry. Since there were no damages to the room, I should expect a refund in a few days. My experience has been that possilbe extra charges are done after check-out and NOT on the day of check-in. 3. A few ants coming out of the heater. 4. A $51 charge for underground parking because of the high rate of car break-ins so I parked there, only to find they also have overnight parking in the gated registration lot but told the price is the same???? Likely or another way to charge more???? No transparency.
It's just a block away from the main street. In close proximity to bars and restaurants . The staff at the front desk was very helpful. We didn't go to the bar at the hotel but it looked inviting and we would have if we had more time. The hotel is a little older but nicely maintained.
Staff was great. Location was great Small beds. Noise
It was really close to all the attractions to Fisherman's Wharf The room we were in had a lot of guest traffic within the building such as people walking up and down the stairs and doors slamming. (room 241)
The view of our room wasn't great but we checked in late at night and leaving early in the morning,so we didn't care. It was clean ok but behind the drawers and the TV stand wasn't for a long time, lots of dust and coweds..The parking was very expensive, $57.00 total. The other hotel we had stayed a week ago 2 blocks away it was $26.00....Unbeleivable priced! The wrapped sandwich that we had from the "snack booth " restaurant (it was closed), it was very good and priced fair. Garage parking price, $57.00 total...too expensive...
Lots of food choices around the area including Starbucks. Looks clean. Nobody asked when we came in if we need help in our luggage. The bed creeks, make some noises when you move while sleeping. Parking is not included. You need to pay 50 bucks per night.
Location, availability of Uber drivers, value. Near enough to family in SF to get together with a short Uber. My purpose for the trip was to help a family member and I was not at the hotel much except for sleeping. My room this time was on the Main Street in the Wharf Building and the Marriott hotel across the street had trash pickup at 3 am which was very noisy and lasted over an hour including loud talking and clinging of metal containers. Lost some sleep due to this. Otherwise hotel was quiet. Will specify room location next time!
Clean rooms, nice staff, excellent location. Horrible view. Parking is outrageous.
Loved the location, everything was within walking distance Valet was a little high priced, worth it considering the location
Great location. The staff was friendly and the dog stayed for free. 55$ parking, the room was kind of old but they are remodeling currently
Friendly staff. Nice amenities. Some construction noise at early hours
Staff was fantastic, curtious and always had a smile on their face. Safe, pleasant hotel, within walking distance, two blocks to be exact, from Fisherman's Wharf. Restaurant/Bar closed at 10. It would be nice if at least the bar was kept open until regular adult establishment hours.
Room had very tasteful decor, bed was comfortable, staff friendly and helpful and location perfect for the first three days of a travel vacation.
The hotel overall was very nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Lobby was beautiful. Restaurant was delicious. Our room wasn't cleaned very well. There was hair on the walls in the bathroom. A dog biscuit on the floor and the carpets were dingy and needed a deep cleaning. While it was a nice hotel it was very expensive for the accommodations you received.
What a disaster this place was. Facilities look nothing like the photographs. The entire operation was ran out of the basement what a complete disappointment
Morning coffee, afternoon wine, dine credit elevator slow
THat was close to good places no breakfast
Very nice hotel, the remodeled areas are beautiful. Beds were very comfortable, the location is stellar and the staff are graet. I was told that the remodel had changed the layout and contents of the rooms. As a result, I reserved a room with room for four people and arrived to a room that would sleep two. The issue was resolved with rollaway beds (the room was quite large), but that could cause problems for other people.
Concierge services was excellent
The staff , especially Katie at the front desk went above and beyond to make our anniversary stay wonderful. Nothing
Great location close to all the areas of interest. Breakfast was expensive. I suggest going across the street to Denny's for a better value.
Location, Comfort Parking way too expensive.
Location Expensive
The rooms were clean, the cleaning staff was friendly and always greated when we would pass. The breakfast was very good and had a lot of options, we always are early and it seemed to get really busy the later you ate but they never ran out of food. I felt like it was a great value! The hotel is located in fishermans wharf and is walking distance to the pier and tour buses, bike rentals, shops, and dining options. We did not have hot water the first morning however it was fixed when we got back to the hotel later in the afternoon. The concierge staff could have been better- they suggested an Italian place for dinner that had terrible reviews- - im glad I checked ahead. We also asked about bars and nightlife and she sent us to broadway street which is full of strip clubs- didn't see many bars- after the fact we figured out that we should have been closer to the beach on the same street. They lacked knowledge of the areas, I know it's a big city but they should be familiar with areas to send tourists.
Cleanliness/comfortable /location Parking fees
The location is within walking distance of our destination, the hotel is very clean and staff friendly. The room did not have a refrigerator or microwave, our previous stay there the room had both.
Very well situated to everything - transport, shops,
Perfect location walking distance to main attractions. No guest laundry facilities had to walk to another Holiday in to use the laundry. Breakfast times could have been extended to at least 10am.
House keeping is good and something unexpected good....... Breakfast is not good enough e.g. lack of variety of fruits
Convenience of location, it is within walking distance to most all tourists attractions. The parking fee is outrageous ($45) and you must use valet to park your vehicle. Customer service was professional; yet, it wasn't above and beyond what should happen.
Very close to the wharf, restaurants, cable cars and cruise terminals.
Location and friendly staff. Room was clean and quiet 3 years ago the parking wasn't as expensive as this trip 51 plus 8 tax each night is outrageous
Great location, excellent breakfast, comfortable rooms and courteous staff There is no fridge on the room
The Location was really good The breakfast was poor and the room was a bit dingy with a small bathroom. They had a coffe maker in the bathroom - yuck!
The price point and location were great. The staff was always kind and greated us. It was nice and clean. So was the general location of the hotel. Some other "high end" hotels in the financial district for instance suffer from ridiculous pricing ,and you get to watch homeless at close range. The beds were terrible ,imagine the Grand Canyon combined with the Marianas trench. Rooms very spartan and bland.
The staff was great. Helped with tickets to attractions and local restaurant suggestions. Comfortable beds were a plus. No free breakfast, but reasonably priced breakfast was available
Great location, pricy for the little you get. Not the cleanest Marriott I've stayed in
I loved the comfortable bed, the cleanliness, and the friendliness of the staff. We had stayed at another location the night before which was so terrible, that I was online looking for a hotel and fortunately found the Marriott. They were able to accommodate us and turned our potentially awful weekend into a great success. I wish we would have found Marriott earlier. Could hear some people late at night but they settled down quickly enough.
Within walking distance to everything you want to see! Perfect for families! Love the breakfast room. Very clean!
The hotel staff was very helpful! Everyday Edward had suggestions for us. The room was very clean and was in a great location. Only a block from the dock, food, shopping, and tour buses. Street was a little noisy. But obviously, not the hotels fault.
Good location near Fisherman's Warf. Low price. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. 100 year old hotel. Per other reviews I requested a room with a sink. This allowed me to brush my teeth, shave, and have drinking water without leaving the room. Others had to do so in the hallway shared sink. Imagine what a low rent hotel was like 100 years ago, and you will be fine. Thin walls, older mattress and bedding and furnishings. Small, but to be expected. Shared bathrooms and showers were not ideal, but not a big deal for a quick one night stay.
Easy location, checkin, shared bath done quite nice, quiet and clean as a whistle
Was a little worried about the bathrooms being down the hall. However, this was no problem at all. Had to wait a time or two for a shower, but was extremely pleased with how clean the shared areas were maintained. Of course, would have preferred our own bathroom.
Clean and very quaint. Friendly staff. The location was great, near the wharf and cruise terminal. Had coffee and tea available near the front desk. Was excellent for the price we paid! The rooms were very small. Had to put the chair on top of the wardrobe so we could both put our suitcases on the floor.
The vintage and historic feel of the hotel. there's an almost communal hostel-like atmosphere to the hotel due to the nature of amenities such as shared bathrooms and washroom. Interior is incredibly beautiful. Parking was a pain but that's an issue you'll encounter with many places in SF. gotta be careful with noise levels since you can hear things and sound can easily penetrate through walls and windows.
I liked the atmosphere, and the fact that for a shared-bathroom facility there were multiple baths and toilets available. I also LOVED the location and the general 'feel' of the place. the room was just so incredibly TINY! barely had room to move around the bed, which would not have been so bad if there were at least some sort of desk or table to sit at, or a lounge area in the hotel that had a table and chairs (there were several couch-type areas but nothing that could double as a desk). I was travelling for work, and could not really do much at all at the hotel. also this was listed as a double room... I cannot imagine sharing this room with someone else.
A little bit of Europe in San Francisco. Very historic and nostalgic. It's not for everyone but it's perfect for people who like to meet strangers on their travels. The lack of air conditioning...but that's what you expect for such an old building.
The price and what you get for it. The rooms were too cramped
We could barely fit in our room because it was so small. We were the first room across from the bathroom and could hear every time someone went pee. Like literally hear them pee. The lightbulb flickered and a curtain blind fell off. The bed was uncomfortable and room was so tiny.
The location directly adjacent to Fisherman's Wharf is excellent. It is convenient to transportation. Within 2 blocks, there are restaurants of varying levels, a grocery store, workout facility and shopping (either souveniers or really high end artwork). My room was on the second floor front and was very bad for street noise. The bed was quite firm, but not in a comfortable way. For TV addicts, there is a limited range of channels. Only tiny safe deposit boxes at the front desk. Day staff very friendly. Night staff more indifferent. Maintenance appears OK. Told them my shower was not draining properly on the first night. It wal fixed when I tried again and stayed that way.
Great location, with service oriented staff, great room comfort and size. Great price. Already recommended. The room has no air conditioner, thus the noise from trucks and electric cars early in the mornings is sometimes uncomfortable, specially when you are very tired. Should tried to work on this limitation.
It was very close to the main sights of San Fransisco which made getting around easy. No
Close to the Harbor missing internet conex.
Access to all local amenities
#1 reason for booking this motel was free parking. For the price comfortable beds and location was an added plus. no air conditioning....It was raining for two days and the room was still hot at night. (in late October)...Summers would not be comfortable. The lady on the desk was not friendly at all.
View from my room window
Great location and it was clean. I didn't need anything more. The clock in the room was nearly 1/2 hour slow, so I nearly missed my bus the next morning.
the position of the hotel, very convienent no
Hotel position Don't have any kind of breakfast, even if it was included in our booking.
Location and price Poorly kept exterior and lobby. Lots of trash and debris outside door and in parking lot.
3 mins walk to fishermans wharf Daily parking fee on the top of their daily hotel rate.
Clean, recently redone, decent value. Cheaper rate if you call the motel directly.
It's a delightful, charming little inn, centrally located and a good bargain. The location was very near Fisherman's Wharf. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Overall, it was a very positive experience. There was no elevator but that wouldn't have been authentic with the original style of the hotel or aesthetically pleasing.
Convenient location Telephone did not work, safety on outside door was broken, don´t fall for the breakfast is included, it´s a joke, at most they could call it a snack.
Location is very convenient, 10 minutes walk from Pier 39, 5 minutes from tram stop. It is clean, safe neighbourhood. Hotel itself is also clean. Breakfast is actually not existing, althought description of the hotel says differently. Just don't count you get anything except coffee. Also the room is extremely small. The two beds are actually accupying the whole space available. No room left for sitting or even walking.
The bed was comfortable It was a motel and very overpriced.
The location was awesome!! The room was confy :) I liked everything
I loved everything about this place. Travelling alone I felt safe and secure here, it was close to where I had to go to meet the tour buses as well as within walking distance to the pier which had such a great atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable and the rates were more than competitive. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay while visiting the lovely San Francisco
The location was great as it was just a short walk to Fishermans Wharf. The free wi-fi internet was a really great feature. Staff were friendly enough, and although the room was not flash, it was comfortable so it was definitely value for money. There is a sign by reception that says "This area contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause Cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm."... this was slightly concerning. Also I couldn't work the air conditioning unit but that could just be me :-)
Location The family above us was walking around all night and the building is old and you can hear every little noise
Wonderful accommodations and friendly and helpful staff. I will definitely return again.

Post subject: Nobody's 2014 NFL Mock Draft v1.0
If you disagree with a pick, TELL ME WHY. If you disagree with your teams draft position, feel free to tell me so long as you give me reasons for it. Feedback is everything here, especially if you want an improved mock 2.0!!
1. New York Jets- Jadeveon Clowney- DE/OLB South Carolina- An easy pick or New York. They need more pass rush, he's the top prospect.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars- Teddy Bridgewater- QB Louisville- Youre welcome, Jacksonville. Teddy has all of the tools to be an elite NFL signal caller.
3. Oakland Raiders- David Fales- QB SJSU- I believe in Tyler Wilson, but in the end if they pick this high they very likely look for a franchise QB. I'm a big Fales fan, and in a good situation he has star potential.
4. Carolina Panthers- Marquise Lee- WR USC- The Panthers are much more talented than their record and draft position shows. They have a ridiculously difficult schedule. Carolina has searched for a complement to Steve Smith for years, and Lee is the answer. He will take over for Smith and should be a fearsome combo with Newton.
5. Cleveland Browns- Bradley Roby- CB Ohio State- The most talented DB in the draft by far, Cleveland goes with the hometown player to play across from Haden, with McFadden in the slot. A fearsome secondary for sure.
6. San Diego Chargers- Taylor Lewan- OT Michigan- OSU/Michigan back to back! San Diego doesn't have a LT on the roster right now, plain and simple. They may also go QB here, but at this point I don't think it's all Rivers' fault. Lewan is great in pass pro and the running game, and should monumentally improve the SD OL.
7. Buffalo Bills- Sammy Watkins- WR Clemson- Bot a huge fan of Watkins so early, but Buffalo needs more talent for Manuel. Stevie Johnson, Watkins, and Woods is a great WR corps.
8. Detroit Lions- Cyrus Kouandjio- OT Alabama- Whether Reiff is the franchise LT Detroit hopes for or not, there's no denying a need for an OT. Another Bama OL in the top 10.
9. Philadelphia Eagles- Tahj Boyd- QB Clemson- For the record, I'm not a huge Boyd fan, and I realize Kelly doesn't just use black QBs. I don't think Barkley is the answer, and they need a QB to build around if they're picking top 10.
10. Kansas City Chiefs- Aaron Murray- QB Georgia- Undersized, yes, but Murray can be a franchise QB for KC, especially under Andy Reid. He has the physical tools and SEC production to be great.
11. Arizona Cardinals- Jake Matthews- OT Texas A&M- Need I explain myself? They don't want to reach for a QB here, so 'Zona takes a much needed LT to protect Palmer. They need a good OL to run a vertical offense effectively (unless Palmer suddenly becomes Andrew Luck.)
12. Tennessee Titans- Louis Nix III- DT Notre Dame- The Titans stock up on DL talent. They could go QB if Locker doesn't get his [inappropriate/removed] in gear this year. They still don't have a great defense and are in a tough division, hence picking at 12.
13. New Orleans Saints- Kyle Van Noy- LB BYU- They need help in their new 3-4, especially after passing on Jarvis Jones last year. Van Noy is an extremely talented overall player.
14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Austin Seferian-Jenkins- TE Washington- A new toy for Freeman to work with, the Bucs are a very talented team that can just go BPA. ASJ is an elite prospect.
15. Dallas Cowboys- Anthony Johnson- DT LSU- To help the conversion to a Tampa-2 (Why Dallas??) they need more front 7 bodies. Johnson is a talented player at an area of need for Dallas.
16. Miami Dolphins- Will Sutton- DT Arizona State- Lucky for the Dolphins, they add yet another great pass rusher to go with Wake and Jordan. One of the scariest DLs in the league now.
17. Chicago Bears- Antonio Richardson- OT Tennessee- Not sold on Bushrod at LT. They take a true LT finally to protect Cutler.
18. Saint Louis Rams (via Washington)- HaHa Clinton-Dix- S Alabama- Adding to an already scary defense, Saint Louis takes a very good safety prospect out of Alabama.
19. Pittsburgh Steelers- Stephon Tuitt- DE Notre Dame- The Steelers need some youngsters in their front 7. Tuitt is a beast and should help Pittsburgh greatly.
20. New York Giants- Shane Skov- LB Stanford- The Giants need more LB talent. Skov should come in and help the Giants poor defense right away.
21. Minnesota Vikings- CJ Mosley- LB Alabama- Minnesota has a gaping hole at MLB, and they address it here. They are building a good defense there in Minnesota, and this will continue to help.
22. Saint Louis Rams- Timmy Jernigan- DT Florida State- Are you kidding me? The Rams stack their DL with 4, count em, FOUR first round picks. Just a ridiculously talented defensive line.
23. Baltimore Ravens- Zach Martin- OT Notre Dame- The Ravens don't have any young player who can play at LT. They need to protect Flacco if they want him to be worth that money.
24. Indianapolis Colts- Louchiez Purifoy- CB Florida- Picking at 24 again (the lucky number!) Indy helps it's defense by taking an extremely talented CB our of Florida on Purifoy. He will start opposite Vontae Davis with Toler and Butoer behind them to complete a strong CB corps.
25. Cincinnati Bengals- Brandon Coleman- WR Rutgers- A physical freak at WR, Coleman will play alongside AJ Green and give Dalton a ridiculous number of young, talented weapons.
26. Atlanta Falcons- Lache Seastrunk- RB Baylor- They could address the defense here, but the best back in the draft is hard to pass up here. Seastrunk is a very good prospect out of Baylor, and will make the Falcon's offense even scarier.
27. Houston Texans- Ifo Ekpre-Olomu- CB Oregon- While Jonathan Joseph was great last year, nobody else could be counted on. They desperately need someone other than Kareem Jackson opposite Joseph. Houston loves them some DBs.
28. Green Bay Packers- Colt Lyerla- TE Oregon- You're welcome, Rodgers. Colt is just a great weapon at TE, and can block decently as well. The Packers re-signed Jermichael Finley, but you have to wonder if he will still be around.
29. New England Patriots- Jordan Matthews- WR Vanderbilt- A physical, polished WR out of Vandy, the Patriots simply lack real outside WRs, although Dobson is a future star.
30. Seattle Seahawks- Ryan Shazier- LB Ohio State- The Seahawks have a need at OLB on defense, and that's about it. He will complete the Hawks elite defense. Seattle has everything it needs on offense at this point. A WR may also be a pick here, but Rice, Harvin, and Tate are a very good group.
31. Denver Broncos- Jackson Jeffcoat- DE Texas- Von can't do it himself. The new Doom comes in at a position of need for Denver, and could be a contributor right away.
32. San Francisco 49ers- Carrington Byndom- CB Texas- The Niners really only have a need at CB. Another guy there with Culliver is a must, as Rogers isn't that reliable anymore, especially with his age.

Jake Matthews, Kyle Van Noy or ASJ would be better.

I think Wilson is seriously going to turn some heads in TC, Preseason, and potentially in the regular season too. I dont think we draft a QB that high. Much rather go Van Noy, Nix or ASJ.

Not a fan of going RB in the first for ATL. We have good depth, and even if SJAX totally fails, we'll find a replacement in the later rounds. Gimme Jackson Jeffercoat, please.

We have signed Bushrod to a 5 year contract and he is here with the only Oline coach he has ever worked with in Aaron Kromer I doubt we give up on him after one year altho I could see a guy like Richardson being brought in to play RT for a couple of years before moving over to the left side
With the way the board is sitting Louchiez Purifoy would be a better pick.

Love it for the Vikings, around where I think they'll pick, probably 5 picks either direction depending on Ponder and DB's, and MLB is definitely a huge need as Henderson can survive there for a year, but he isn't a long term option.

While Lyerla is certainly a good player with good upside, I am not sure he is the type we are looking for. Also if there is a LT that is close as a prospect I bet we take him. I could see is going Cornelius Lucas then CJ Fiedorowicz as a better combo.

I'm not a fan of the Watkins pick, but I like Watkins as a prospect.
Stevie and Woods are cemented as starters than we have high picks TJ Graham, Marquise Goodwin and UDFA Da'Rick Rogers and Brandon Kaufman with upside.
If im the Bills at that spot I'm looking Jake Matthews / Cyrus Kouadijo or even Louis Nix. Nix could anchor our 3/4 looks and Kyle Williams isn't getting younger. ASJ works as well

St. Lawrence allowed me to take advantage of numerous opportunities to enhance my academics and my future. After completing a Community Based Learning First Year Program and First Year Seminar, I chose to major in sociology. Having the ability to apply course work on social injustices and inequalities to the experiences I was having as I engaged in the local community became an integral facet of my studies. And as a resident of Northern New York, I felt that studying sociology would make me the most equipped to help create solutions for some of the challenges in this area. The professors and the courses offered through the Sociology Department offered both breadth and depth. I became a critical thinker and learned how to apply these critical thinking skills to contemporary issues. As I continued to expand both my knowledge and passion for civic engagement, I became a Community Mentor for the Center for Civic Engagement. In this position, I had the opportunity to oversee service learning students at numerous community agencies as well as develop and implement a new mentoring program for high school students. During the spring of my junior year I was able to study abroad in Kenya where I studied contemporary issues in East Africa and interned with an AIDS/HIV hospital in Western Kenya. My time abroad not only enhanced my education but also allowed me to see the world in a new way. In culminating these experiences, I conducted a senior honors project where I examined the impacts of the cyclical nature of rural poverty on the life outcomes of youth. That experience allowed me to take control of my studies by researching a topic that a feel very strongly about. It also allowed me to integrate my experiences in the community into the project.

This could make another good wingnut on wingnut crime report, but there's more to it than that. Worldnutdaily founder Joseph Farah disagrees with his good friends at the NRA. He thinks putting an armed guard in every school leads to a "police state," so better to arm union thugs, I mean, teachers and administrators.
America doesn't need more police.
America doesn't need a "civilian national security force," as Barack Obama has suggested.
And America certainly doesn't need more firearms in the hands of the government – local, state or federal.
What America needs to avert future Sandy Hook Elementary School disasters is the following…Armed and trained teachers and administrators in schools – not armed police and security guards.
How odd. Hiring police officers to guard the schools creates a "police state," but arming teachers and administrators — you know, the ones he's usually calling union thugs who hate America and are trying to destroy Christianity by teaching evolution and such — does not. Funny, that.
Most of all what America needs is a genuine return to God in which, at the very least, those who profess belief in Him follow the prescription of 2 Chronicles 7:14: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Aren't there millions of people doing that every day? What's the magic number required?

Sneak peek for press of snow leopard cubs August 24

Woodland Park Zoo's Snow Leopard Cubs to make first official public appearance Saturday, August 25, noon – 3:00 p.m.

Since their birth in May, Woodland Park Zoo's two female snow leopard cubs Shanti and Asha have been seen only in photos and videos. Despite generating a large fan base online, zoo visitors have yet to see the cubs on exhibit. The press is invited to a sneak peek of the cubs Friday, August 24, 10:30 a.m.
The newest feline ambassadors will make their first official public appearance Saturday, August 25, noon - 3:00 p.m.
The snow leopard cubs will be viewable to zoo visitors in the snow leopard exhibit located in Australasia. Following August 24, daily viewing hours for the public will continue from noon to 3:00 p.m., and will incrementally increase as the cubs become more comfortable in their new surroundings.
Shanti and Asha were born to 7-year-old mother Helen and 6-year-old father Tom in May. Originally a litter of three, the cubs were all born with eye and eyelid defects, a condition known as coloboma. Shanti and Asha remain blind in the right eye, which is abnormally small in both cubs. The third cub, a male, was euthanized in June due to multiple severe heart defects that were causing early heart failure.
The zoo's animal management staff has made changes to the snow leopard exhibit to make it visually-impaired cub friendly. Staff trimmed branches at the cubs' eye level and laid hay to soften rocky surfaces throughout the exhibit.
For latest photos and video of the snow leopard cubs and to follow their story, go to http://bit.ly/snowleocubs.
Sneak peek for the press: Friday, August 24, 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Public debut: Saturday, August 25, noon to 3:00 p.m.
Australasia area of Woodland Park Zoo. Enter through West Entrance on Phinney Ave. N. between N. 55th & N. 56th Sts. for staff escort.
Summer hours: 9:30 a.m.-6:00 p.m. daily. Admission through September 30: Adult (13-64) id="mce_marker"7.75; Child (3-12) id="mce_marker"1.50; Toddler (0-2) Free.

The Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging, or BLSA, is one of the world's longest running studies of aging. Started in 1958, the BLSA enrolls healthy volunteers ages 20 years and older and follows them longitudinally—for life. The BLSA has accumulated a great deal of valuable data, and researchers can request access to this data for their own investigations of important scientific questions.
In a new blog post, Dr. Luigi Ferrucci, director of the NIA Intramural Research Program, explains what makes the BLSA so unique and how scientists can get access to the data. He also introduces the new director of the BLSA, Dr. Stephanie Studenski. "I want to encourage researchers who study issues related to aging and have questions that require the unique design and depth of information available in the BLSA to submit an analysis proposal to use the data," Dr. Ferrucci writes.

Jay-Z & Justin Timberlake perform 'Holy Grail' live for first time at Wireless Fest
Listen to Jay-Z on iHeartRadio | Listen to Justin Timberlake on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - As if Jay-Z's epic Yahoo! Wireless Festival performance could have been any better, he brought out a special guest for his final song: Justin Timberlake.
The duo powered through a propulsive debut rendition of Holy Grail that had the entire crowd leaping into the air.
Justin appeared to raucous applause under a bright red baseball cap before his liquid vocals began rippling out over the crowd. When the beat proper dropped in we thought the ground of the Olympic Park would begin to crack from the madness that kicked off.
It was the second special guest appearance the duo shared at the festival. During Justin's Friday night headline performance (which also featured the debut of a brand-new song titled "Take Back the Night") Jay-Z came out for a run through of "Suit & Tie."
Jay-Z had been watching Justin's set from side of stage with JT's wife Jessica Biel, Frank Ocean, Snoop Lion, Rita Ora, and more before joining the man himself.
With two sneak previews down, we could not be more excited for the real deal tomorrow when Jay-Z and Justin join forces as the Legends of the Summer for the Sunday headline show.

One of the most contagious infections to affect children and adults is conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye is an inflammation of the conjunctiva. This makes the blood vessels of the eye more visible and turns the white part of the eye pinkish. This condition can be caused by a number of factors such as exposure to bacteria or viruses, allergens and irritants. Treatment for conjunctivitis depends on the cause of the condition.
The first step towards treating this disease is to correctly diagnose it. Some of the symptoms that can be noticed are:
- Redness in the white of the eye
- Itchiness and burning in the eye
- Discharge from the eye
- Crusting of the eyelids
- Increased sensitivity to light
If you notice any of these symptoms persisting for over a few days, consult a doctor immediately. There are two aspects to dealing with conjunctivitis; preventing the infection from spreading and reducing the infection. Here are a few tips to help stop the infection from spreading.
- Stop wearing contact lenses. While the infection persists, wear spectacles instead. Once your eyes have healed, dispose of the old contacts lenses and solution and get yourself a new pair.
- Wash your hands often. This is especially important if you have touched your eyes and will prevent the infection from spreading.
- Avoid sharing contact lenses, eye makeup and other forms of makeup along with makeup brushes.
- Avoid rubbing your eyes. Often conjunctivitis can affect only one eye at a time. Keeping yourself from rubbing or touching the infected eye will keep the infection from spreading to the other eye.
- Remove the discharge from around your eye every few hours with a clean cotton swab. Throw the swab away after it has been used once and wash your hands with soap and water before touching anything else.
- Avoid using swimming pools and hot tubs.
- Wash towels. Pillow cases, sheets and other things that come in regular contact with your eyes every few days with hot water to disinfect them.
In most cases of infective conjunctivitis, antibiotics are not needed. Instead lubricant eye drops are prescribed that are available over the counter. This can help ease soreness and stickiness in the eye. When using lubricant eye drops, do not let the dropper touch the infected eye and do not use the same eye drops for both eyes. Untreated conjunctivitis can be treated with antibiotics such as chloramphenicol and fusidic acid. These antibiotics can have a few side effects such as blurred vision and hence you must avoid driving and operating heavy machinery after using them.
I am 25 years old female suffering from runny nose & constant sneezing 24*7 almost everyday accompanied by watery eyes. Watery discharge comes out of my nose almost all the time & If I touch my nose I start sneezing. It's very irritating to live with this condition 24*7.I am unable to concentrate on anything. I also had sinus problem beforehand & also has allergy from dust. I have been suffering from this problem since 4-5 weeks, precisely since the advent of monsoon. I think the monsoon is what triggers this problem in me. I had the similar problem last years during the monsoon. Please help me with this & suggest me some remedies for it.
She is having ptosis hence having watery eyes, headache etc. Eye spl says both eyes are normal. Can Homeopathy help.
I've been struggling with eye redness and itchiness for months. Went to 2 doctors and still am under medication but not improving. Riding bikes and a hot day worsen the condition. Feels like a hundred ants are running around inside my eyelids. Please help me.
My 5 years old daughter has vision issue: Right Eye (Spherical: +0.00 Cylindrical: -02.50, Axis: 175), Left Eye (Spherical: +0.00 Cylindrical: -02.50, Axis: 05) I am looking for non-surgical solution to improve her vision so that she can live spectacle free life.
I am 14 years old. My eyesight is very weak, my right eye is weaker. I have been wearing glasses since 3 to 4 years. My doctor said they won't improve until I am completely grown. He suggested me to put my left eye closed for 3 to 4 hours a day and try to use my right eye more than that of left. Is he right? Will this really work?
I have problem seeing far things. One doctor prescribed glasses with power OD: sph -1.25, cyl +0.50 axs 64, OS: sph -1.25, cyl +1.0 axs 89, which I find bit uncomfortable. I think its not accurate. When I tested again, another doctor gave right: sph 0, cyl -0.50 axs 160, left: sph 0, cyl - 0.75, axis 180 Why is second testing gave CYL negative. Is this okay?
I have eye bags problem .i'm just of 18 years .my face looks dull and oily in afternoon .and I have pimples on my face.

And every evening I'm feeling like lack of moisture in my eyes.
Contact lenses are one of the most convenient ways to correct vision related problems. It is easily disposable and requires the least maintenance. It might have minor side effects in the form of irritations and allergies but it requires the least time for adaptability. They help to correct nearsightedness and farsightedness along with astigmatism and age-related vision problems like presbyopia. Following are the benefits and harms of wearing contact lenses.
Positive effects of contact lenses
1. Better vision - Wearing contact lenses improves your vision to a great amount, especially peripheral vision. They are comfortable to wear and can correct both nearsightedness and farsightedness. They can cause discomfort initially but are more effective than glasses. Lenses are also available in bifocals and tints and can be worn for long periods of time.
2. Great for an active lifestyle - Glasses can be a hindrance to sports activities and can limit your peripheral vision. Lenses, on the other hand, are great for an active lifestyle as they require short adaptation period. They are easy to put and take care of and do not require a lot of maintenance on your part as it needs least cleaning.
Risks of wearing contact lenses
1. Dry eyes - Dry eyes are the most common side effects of wearing contact lenses
2. Infections - Contact lenses wearers are prone to infection of the cornea called keratitis. It can cause swelling, blurry vision and other problems due to lack of oxygen supply to the cornea. Infection can be prevented by maintaining the hygiene while wearing and taking off lenses.
3. Allergic reactions - Allergic reaction to the contact lens solution can affect your vision as it causes inflammation of the eyeballs and redness. It can also cause eyelid inflammation and limit your scope of vision. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult an Ophthalmologist.

Eyelid surgery or Blepharoplasty is a cosmetic surgery, which is used to correct droopy eyelids. It reduces the saggy quality of lower eyelids which you get with age and also rids of the excess skin from the upper lids. Apart from making your eyes look younger, Blepharoplasty also enhances your peripheral vision which can get affected due to sagging skin. An eyelid surgery does not help you get rid of dark circles or crow's feet which you get on the outer corner of your eyes.
Reasons to Consider Eyelid Surgery
Eyelid surgery is a good option if you want to get rid of the sagging skin from your lower eyelids or the excess skin on your upper eyelids. Sometimes with age your lower eyelids may appear puffy, making you look old and exhausted all the time. An eyelid surgery can make your eyes look younger and livelier and also do away with the grooves and lines formed under your eyes.
Precautions to take after the Surgery
You need to stay indoors after the surgery for more than a week for your eyelids to heal. You may suffer from dry eyes; so always keep ice packs handy. Your doctor may prescribe eye drops or artificial tears, according to your needs. Make sure you always use clean towels and consume painkillers only if your doctor recommends.
It is of primary importance to follow up the surgery with postoperative care. Your doctor will give you detailed information about dressing, a dosage of antibiotics, activity level allowed and also the complications which can arise. Make sure you follow all the instructions and are prepared for the symptoms associated with it.
Risks associated with Eyelid Surgery
Fortunately, major complications associated with Blepharoplasty are rare; yet there could be some side effects of this surgery. Sometimes, there might be cases of infection and bleeding or a bad reaction to anesthesia. Hematoma or accumulation of blood under the skin is also one of the side effects of eyelid surgery.

Monsoon brings joy as you say goodbye to summer – and your sunglasses (remember, they also protect your eyes from infection). Monsoons bring with them an army of infections that cause eye pain and discomfort, so don't ignore your eye health this monsoon. Viral infections are known to thrive and spread during rains due to increased moisture in the air.
Proper eye care should become a priority during monsoons to help protect from infections like conjunctivitis, stye, dry eyes and corneal ulcers which can lead to blindness.
Here are some of the precautions you can take during monsoons to maintain good eye health.
- Precautions are usually based on hygiene. Avoid touching your eyes with dirty hands.
- Ask your children to not touch their eyes.
- If you (or someone around you) suspect you've got or are getting conjunctivitis, wash your eyes gently and use a cold compress. The best thing would be to see a doctor.
- If someone at home is down with conjunctivitis, wash your hands after administering drops.
- Redness, irritation & itching are common monsoon-related problems, especially after too much reading, long hours at the computer or watching too much television, and most hospitals treat such problems with lubricating eye drops. However, if you have such a problem, don't self-medicate – ask a doctor.
- Avoid sharing your towel and similar personal items with others, because infections mostly spread through hands, clothes and other commonly touched items.
- Stye is a common eye infection that occurs during monsoons, and is caused due to bacteria. It manifests as a painful lump along the eyelid, and is normally treated with the help of a warm compress, though a visit to the doctor is highly recommended.
- In case of red eye, avoid over-the-counter eye drops as they may contain steroids which can be harmful, and seek expert advice. Also avoid using contact lens during this period.
- Wearing glasses when travelling helps.
- Avoid roadside food.
- Always wash your hands after coming from outside.
- Try to keep children away from puddles and waterlogged areas. Children often like to have fun in or around such places but they are highly bacteria prone.

As part of a draft strategy to restore and protect the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers, federal agencies including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Homeland Security, Interior and Transportation will accelerate Bay cleanup efforts by meeting two-year milestones that lead to all activities needed to restore the Bay and its rivers being in place no later than 2025.
The draft strategy, part of the Chesapeake Bay Executive Order that President Obama signed in May, contains a comprehensive suite of federal initiatives to address the challenges facing the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed.
"This is the broadest and most publicly accountable cleanup effort ever seen on the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed," said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. "It's time for a new era of decisive federal leadership, and new partnerships with state government, nonprofits, the private sector and residents who have all been working to create a cleaner Bay."
Collectively, the initiatives support three actions:
To accomplish these actions, federal agencies will work closely with the six Bay watershed states and the District of Columbia.
Another important component of the draft strategy is empowering local restoration efforts. Federal agencies will expand technical assistance and resources, and support development of innovative technologies and economic markets for ecosystem services.
Federal agencies have also developed a suite of accountability and transparency measures led by ChesapeakeStat, a publicly accessible online tool that will identify restoration projects, funding and progress.
The draft strategy also calls for an annual plan for spending; reporting on environmental health and restoration progress; and an independent evaluation of federal efforts.
The public is encouraged to provide feedback on the draft strategy during the public comment period, which runs from now to Jan. 8, 2010. The draft strategy will evolve significantly through public comments, state consultations and agency revisions before the final strategy is published in May 2010.
Download the entire draft strategy or the executive summary at the Chesapeake Bay Executive Order website.
Greetings from the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation and the American Water Research Association conferences in the beautiful Pacific Northwest!
Sometimes you just get lucky and it all just comes together. Right as we finished a major milestone of completing our initial nutrient target loads and began our watershed plans with those targets, the Bay Program modeling team goes off to two national/international conferences. In those conferences, the team chaired two sessions, presented eight papers, ran a session synthesis, and sat on a panel session. What an excellent opportunity to tell the larger research community about the progress we're making on all fronts in the Chesapeake, as well as the challenges before us.
But while the execution looks smooth and planned, the reality is that when the abstracts were written a year ago for these conferences, we thought we'd be further along in much of our technical analysis. This isn't unique to us; it's by and large the standard operating procedure for all our colleagues in all conferences.
After all, presenting material at these conferences is a lot like painting the room in a new house. The presentation, like the painted room, is just the showy surface. To get to the point where we could add nice shiny paint, some people had to work on the foundation, some erected the framework, while others finished the walls. Finally, like the small visible tip of an iceberg or the fraction of the overall time of working on a house when a room is painted, the presentation is made.
Still, when making these presentations I'm reminded of how far we've come as we put together the largest and most complex TMDL ever developed. And I'm reminded too, as the last presentation is made and we pack up ready for home, of how many people worked to get us this far, and how far we have yet to go together.
Welcome to this week's installment of the BayBlog Question of the Week! Each week we'll take a question submitted through the Chesapeake Bay Program website and answer it here for all to read.
This week's question comes from Tom: I recently purchased a house on the Potomac near the Chesapeake Bay and I want to fertilize the lawn this fall. Is it safe to use an organic fertilizer?
Fertilizing your lawn in the fall rather than in the spring is a great step toward protecting the Bay. Many people believe the spring is the best time to fertilize, but heavy seasonal rainfall can actually wash fertilizers off your lawn and carry them into your local creek or stream. This polluted runoff, which contains nitrogen and phosphorus, fuels the growth of algae in the Chesapeake Bay. Algae blooms are harmful to fish, crabs, oysters and other species that call the Bay home.
Organic fertilizers are a safer choice to use on your lawn because they tend to release nutrients more slowly than regular fertilizers, thus reducing the pollution that could run off your lawn. A variety of organic fertilizers are available, made from all sorts of natural materials. Check out The Organic Gardener for more information.
One of the easiest ways to naturally fertilize your lawn is to recycle your grass clippings and compost the leaves that fall from your trees this time of year.
Visit our Help the Bay in Your Backyard page for more tips on how to fertilize your lawn for a healthy Bay.
Do you have a question about the Chesapeake Bay? Ask us and we might choose it for our Question of the Week!
Summer may be over, but there are still a number of opportunities to get outside and enjoy the splendor of the outdoors. In autumn and winter, millions of migratory birds visit the Chesapeake Bay region as they follow the Atlantic Flyway during their seasonal flights.
The Chesapeake, which sits along the Atlantic Flyway, has always been a favored winter residence and stopover for many waterfowl – ducks, geese and swans – on their way to and from their northern breeding grounds. The wetlands, fields, shallows and open waters of the Bay offer a fertile environment for waterfowl to feed and rest.
There are countless great places in the Chesapeake Bay watershed – which stretches from upstate New York to southern Virginia – to catch a glimpse of these beautiful birds on a fall or winter day. From national wildlife refuges (NWR) to state parks and wildlife management areas, the options are plentiful no matter where you live.
We've compiled a list of some of the top places to spend a day enjoying the beautiful waterfowl that call the Chesapeake region their winter home.
Located about an hour northwest of Salisbury, Blackwater NWR is one of the premier spots in the Bay region to see wintering waterfowl. Each autumn, thousands of Canada geese flock to the 27,000-acre refuge during their annual migration. Tundra swans, snow geese and a variety of ducks are also abundant at Blackwater.
The refuge is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. There is an entry fee of $3 per vehicle, $1 per pedestrian or bicyclist (those under 16 are free).
Elk Neck State Park is situated on the Susquehanna Flats, a unique portion of the Bay that is less than 5 feet deep. In the past, hundreds of thousands of waterfowl used to migrate to this area in massive quantities. While there are fewer birds there these days, the park is still a great spot to watch dabblers like teal and mallards as they feed in the shallow waters of the Flats.
The park is open year-round and cabins are available for rental. On weekdays, the park charges an entry fee of $3 per vehicle; on weekends and holidays, that changes to $3 per person. Out of state residents will have to add $1 to these fees.
With 2,800 acres of land maintained specifically to attract waterfowl, this 30-mile-long island is a sure bet for bird-watching. Wander along inlets and beaches to see thousands of ducks, geese and swans, possibly even close enough to appreciate the intricate differences of each species.
The island is open from sunrise to sunset every day of the year with no entry fees.
The 2,285-acre refuge is home to approximately 243 species of birds. Waterfowl include pintails, goldeneyes, ruddy ducks, oldsquaw, canvasbacks and buffleheads. Also found in the area is the tundra swan, which can be seen in groups of as many as one thousand.
The refuge is open from 7:30 a.m. until one half hour after sunset with no entry fees.
At the end of the last Ice Age, as the last glacier retreated, two masses of ice were left behind and eventually melted, creating the Chenango and Lily lakes in New York. During the migration seasons, birdwatchers can find ducks as well as herons and kingfishers by the lakes. Along the trails, woodpeckers, nut hatches, warblers and thrushes abound.
The park is open year-round for day use, and campsites are available May through October.
Susquehannock State Park offers several river overlooks, which give visitors a unique panoramic view of the lower Susquehanna River. With such a major stop on the Atlantic Flyway nearby, the park is a haven for migratory birds on their journeys. Visitors will inevitably see large numbers of Canada geese, mallards, lesser scaup and several other species. The park also has the world's first bald eagle sanctuary, where two nesting bald eagles have lived for many years. Several other eagles have nested on the island in recent years as well. The eagle sanctuary can be viewed through binoculars or the on-site optical viewer.
Sleepy Creek Wildlife Management Area is mostly an oak-hickory forest covering 3,500 acres. While this portion of the Bay watershed is a bit too far west to draw many migratory waterfowl from the Atlantic Flyway, the 205-acre lake does attract limited numbers of ducks and geese. Mallards, Canada geese, wood ducks and several species of diving ducks can been seen on the lake.
The Nanticoke Wildlife Area contains 4,415 acres of forests, fields and wetlands bordering the Nanticoke River. Along the river, visitors will be treated to the brilliant fall plumage of the drake wood duck and also be able to see American widgeon, gadwall and American black ducks. A multitude of herons, grebes, songbirds and egrets also inhabit Nanticoke Wildlife Area.
For more information, please contact the Delaware Division of Fish & Wildlife at (302) 539-3160.
Rappahannock River Valley NWR is the newest of four refuges that comprise the Eastern Virginia Rivers National Wildlife Refuge Complex. Established in 1996, the refuge protects 20,000 acres of wetlands and uplands along the river and its major tributaries. The vast stretches of wetlands and river frontage provide habitat for a multitude of species of waterfowl, including black ducks, widgeons, greater scaup, hooded mergansers, canvasbacks and ring-necked ducks.
This 146-acre preserve on a peninsula in the Chesapeake Bay has three major natural habits: a tidal salt marsh, a maritime forest and a sandy beach. There is a boardwalk and observation deck over the salt marsh that offers great views of the habitat and wildlife, as well as a roadside between the forest and the marsh where you have a great opportunity to view waterfowl during spring and fall migrations. Shorebirds take their places in the tidal lagoons, while land birds roam the forested areas. Neo-tropical songbirds and other migratory birds are frequently seen here as they travel along the Atlantic Flyway.
The preserve is open daily from dawn 'til dusk.
This salt marsh habitat separates the eastern side of Winter Harbor from the Chesapeake Bay. The habitat is constantly changing due to wind and water that move the sand on the narrow beach, but this doesn't change how many species of birds and waterfowl are found. Bethel Beach boasts more than 185 species of birds, including 25 species of shorebirds.
Just a few miles from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, Kiptopeke State Park is a 500-acre refuge for viewing fall migrations. The park includes a songbird banding station so that visitors of the park can view up-close songbirds like warblers and ovenbirds. There's also a hawk-trapping station with species including sharp-shinned hawks, Cooper's hawk, peregrine falcons and merlin. The nearby Eastern Shore of Virginia Wildlife Refuge has a migration display that's also worth checking out.
The park is open year-round with a $3 entry fee Monday through Friday and $4 on weekends and holidays.
This 500-acre preserve, with its wooded trails and shoreline along the Chesapeake Bay, is very appealing to migrating and wintering birds. Beginning in October, wintering waterfowl such as eiders, scoters and open-water ducks come along. The preserve is open to walkers and bikers.
For a different experience, you can observe waterfowl from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel's four man-made islands. The man-made habitats are located in open waters, providing an inviting resting point for many migrating birds. Frequent avian visitors include northern gannet, pelican, brant, king eider, harlequin duck, red-breasted merganser, peregrine falcon, American oystercatcher, little gull and black-tailed gull.

One rumour of recent days is that the Lib Dems are so demoralised about their impending AV defeat that none will bother to attend the official count down in Docklands. The theory adds to the relentlessly negative narrative about Clegg's party.
In fact it's not quite true. I'm told that Chris Huhne, Lord Ashdown, Danny Alexander, Charles Kennedy and Simon Hughes will all in fact be at Friday's count, if not for the entire afternoon/evening. Read more

Spring Theory
Charlize's performance in Young Adult was dark and cynical, but she certainly doesn't need to dress the part when she walks the red carpet as a Best Actress nominee. We think this shimmering Oscar de la Renta pre-fall dress would show off her figure beautifully, and based on the actress' past red carpet choices, we know that she loves a metallic gown.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo star has already become a fashion industry darling, wearing looks from artsy, edgy designers like Rodarte, Givenchy, and Prabal Gurung with ease. Rooney manages to inject a bit of the Lisbeth Salander moodiness into each one of her red carpet looks, which is why we chose this shiny black Theyskens' Theory gown for her.
