Red Breasted Merganser at Thomas Point

The morning was quite cloudy, but I decided to try Sandy Point for the sunrise. It wasn’t much to see.

I drove by Jonas Green Park, which was deserted, then went to Thomas Point.

There were actually quite a few birds at the point, but most were too distant, and the light was poor in any case. Still, it’s good to know they are finally starting to arrive. This weird, warm weather seems to be affecting a lot of things.
