Common Goldeneye at Thomas Point

Yet another cold, gray morning with threatening skies. I took a quick run by Sandy Point, but nothing had changed-ice as far as I could see, and more photographers than birds.

Jonas Green was better, but there was more ice than yesterday, and fewer birds.  Nothing unusual to see.

By the time I got to Thomas Point, the snow had started, but the birds were more numerous and active and I got a few decent shots.

Buffleheads are still numerous in most places.
