Common Merganser at Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary

The best weather in a long time. I was undecided where to go, but ended up at Wooton, which was a bad choice for this time of year. There were plenty of good ducks, but they spooked very easily, and I didn’t get a singly decent shot.
Jug Bay isn’t far away, so I headed there around 9:30 and did much better.

Four Great Blue Herons were fishing together, which is unusual.
