Although my sprain is getting better, I’m not ready for extensive walking yet, so I went back to Thomas Point where the birds come to you. It was windy and cold, so I didn’t stay as long as yesterday.

Although Canvasbacks are around in some numbers, the Lesser Scaup continues as the dominant duck.

These Ring Billed Gulls were making a lot of noise, but I don’t know why.

A few Black Ducks were foraging near the shore.

This hen Common Goldeneye was by herself.

I was lucky to get any image of these Red Breasted Mergansers who flew off as soon as I saw them.

Buffleheads often mix with the Scaup rafts.

Hooded Mergansers arew becoming more common.

My first Horned Grebe of the season.

My sprain is steadily improving, but I’m not ready for any extensive walks yet, so I went back to Thomas Point where the birds come to you with little effort.
The wind was 10 knots or more out of the North so I didn’t stay long, and bought a warmer pair of gloves on the way home.
