After consulting with the guys at AABC, I decided to head to Sands Road and check out the owl possibilities. Very little materialized, possibly because there were so many raptors in the area.
I then headed to Jug Bay, where most of the birds were too distant for good photos, but I did find a few who cooperated.
This Ring Billed Gull flew quite close. I’m not a gull guy, but they do pose nicely for flight shots.
This Hermit Thrush was out in the open, unlike most I’ve seen.
This Goldfinch is not as dull as many at this time of year.
Several Double Crested Cormorants were flying up and down the river.
I can’t quite tell what this Crow is carrying.
These Tundra Swans flew right over my head, and I missed the best shot.
This Bald Eagle is immature (Less than 5 years old).
I think this is a juvenile Cooper’s Hawk.
