Cedar Waxwing at Possum Point

After another dismal sunrise at Sandy Point, I went to Possum Point to see what was happening. I was very surprised to see 200+ Cormorants near the marina, accompanied by many gulls. A large flock of Cedar Waxwings was feeding in the field, so I ahd plenty to look at.

I then went to Quiet Waters, which was dismally empty.
