It was cloudy this morning, so I didn’t go out until 8:00 or so. I usually stop at Quiet Waters first, but today I went straight to Thomas Point. There were a few decent birds, but mostly too far out for good images.  I did manage a decent shot of a Loon.

I then stopped at a friend’s house on Thomas Point Road, and had much better luck. She and her neighbor’s often feed the Swans, and they, as well as many ducks often congregate there. There was a decent variety today, and they were fairly close.

This Bufflehead came quite close to shore.

Many Mallards were swimming near the dock.

There were probably 75 or so Tundra Swans.

A single Common Loon was foraging at the point.

This Hooded Merganser and his mate were near the entrance to the park.
