Bald Eagle at Thomas Point.

We had decent weather the last few days. but nothing new in the way of birds. A few interesting birds have been found, but mostly too far away to chase.

I’ve stuck with Thomas Point and Quiet Waters recently. We’re getting more cold weather in the next few days, so maybe some different ducks will bless us.

In the meantime I’m going to see about getting different images from the same old birds.
