Golden Crowned Kinglet at Terrapin Nature Park

Once gain I stated at Sandy Point, where it was seriously cold-ski pants and gloves. It did warm up quickly, though, and I was comfortable at Terrapin.

Yesterday’s bonanza was gone, but there were still enough birds to make it interesting, but no new birds. I had to work, so I left early.
