Buffleheads at Sandy Point State Park

The weatherman promised cold and sunny, and he delivered. I made a brief stop at Jonas Green, then headed to Sandy Point, where the damn toll machine is still malfunctioning, but I got a new swipe card at the office, and all is well now..

This juvenile Bald Eagle was looking for a snack, but was chased off by a bunch of Gulls.


There wasn’t much to see except a Bald Eagle looking for breakfast and a lot of Scaups. Some courting Buffleheads provided a few photo ops.
