Hooded Mergansers at Thomas Point

Posted on by

I had to work early this morning, and nearly called off birding due to the cold weather. I’ve been cooped up too long with my sprain, so I decided to give Thomas Point a try and it worked out well.
Bright sunshine and near zero wind made the cold bearable, and a few of the many ducks came in close enough for some decent images.
I’ve been processing images for three hours, so I’ll just post what I have and insert some IDs later.
