I had to work this morning, and I had planned to so some chores as the weatherman was calling for rain. When I finished, the Sun was shining brightly, so I headed to Thomas Point and Quiet Waters. It was largely a waste, except for a nice Owl pellet. It’s strange how the birds are so scarce some days.

This is a “Pellet” regurgitated by an owl. It contains the indigestible remains of its prey, which appears to be a small mammal of some kind.

Lesser Scaup will be here in large numbers for several months.

Ring Billed Gulls are one of our most common gulls.
