The weatherman promised cloudy and cold today, and was half right. The sky was fairly clear, and Thomas Point is closed on Tuesdays, so I headed to Fort Smallwood, which I haven’t visited in a while. It was really quite slow, with only a few birds near shore, so I left after a couple of hours and stopped at Sandy Point, which wasn’t much better.
I got a few decent shots, but it’s the same suspects as usual, and I’d like to see a few different birds.

I haven’t posted a Mallard in a while.

This is my best look at a Common Goldeneye (Hen) this season.

This pair of Canvasbacks was sleeping in a mixed flock of Scaup.

A small flock of Canada Geese flew over the beach.
