Bonaparte’s Gull at Thomas Point

Beautiful weather.
I decerded to go across the bridge today, and entered Terrapin Park about sunrise. There were lots of cold looking Canada Geese on the marsh pond, and I walked on to the end of the beach in search of the elusive Snowy Owl.
He wasn’t there, but I found a couple of Bald Eagles.
I then went to Thomas Point, where the pickings were quite slim.
