Cedar Waxwings at Possum Point

It was a cool, partly sunny morning, with rain promised for later, so I planned a short day. I went to Possum Point first. where Cedar Waxwings were plentiful and active, then to Greenbury Point where they were feeding as well. Ducks were in short supply, but I did find a few out near the point.

This would be a better image with a more interesting foreground, but the colors are spectacular.

Belted Kingfisher

I’m not great with bird songs, but the sound of a Belted Kingfisher is unmistakable, and helped me find this guy.

I didn’t realize there was a Bluebird mixed in with these Cedar Waxwings until I uploaded the image to my computer. Can you find it?

These gray, cloudy days are a lighting challenge, but a black and white bird like this Bufflehead helps.

Greater Scaup

Scaup can be hard to identify, but I’m going to call this a female Greater Scaup.
