Hermit Thrush at Thomas Point State Park

A cloudy morning gave way to sunshine early, so I went to Thomas Point to see if the duck population had increased (Looking for Snowy Owls all the while).
There was very little at the point so I stopped in a cove on the way out and found a few birds. I also stopped at Quiet Waters, but there wasn’t much to see.

Lesser  Scaup

A large flock of Lesser Scaup was at the point.

Mallard

Mallards are the duck we see most often.

Mourning Dove

This Mourning Dove seems darker than most.
