Another nice Winter day, so I went back to Quiet Waters in hopes the migrating ducks would show. There were a few Ruddys, but no others.
I spent an hour at Thomas Point as well, without seeing much, except a few Buffleheads and swans.

Fox Sparrow at Terrapin Nature Park
After my recent run of poor luck, I decided to try the Eastern Shore today. It was a bit cloudy and cold, but warm enough to do without gloves, which are inconvenient when using a camera.
I walked the entire beach at Terrapin without seeing a whole lot, but a few small birds posed for me.
Bald Eagle at Quiet Waters
The weather was nice enough this morning, but there weren’t many photogenic birds. I stayed at Quiet Waters for a couple of hours,then made a quick trip to Thomas Point, which didn’t have much to offer.
I did mange to get a distant Eagle catching a fish, which will have to do for today.
Hermit Thrush at Governor Bridge Natural Area
Quiet Waters was closed today, so I tried Governor Bridge for a change. In truth, it wasn’t very exciting. Not many birds and very gray skies, but a few birds appeared to make it a decent morning.
Black Legged Kittiwake at Sandy Point
Yesterday there was a report of a Kittiwake at Sandy Point, so I decided to take a look. These things don’t usually work out for me, but the bird was right where he was supposed to be, close and in decent light. This bird is pelagic, and really shouldn’t be here. There were few other birds at Sandy point, so I made a brief stop at Jonas Green n the way back and found a few ducks and other birds.
Brown Creeper at Quiet Waters
It was cloudy and foggy this morning, but it cleared up quickly and we had 60 degree plus weather. Quiet Waters still doesn’t have many ducks, so I went to Thomas Point, which was also near barren except for some distant Ruddys and Buffleheads.
Gadwall at Jonas Green Park
The unusually nice weather was welcome, and a few good birds were around, but we’re still waiting for ducks to show in numbers.
I started at Jonas Green Park, which had a few ducks, then went on to Quiet Waters and Thomas Point, which are still quite slow, but improving.
Bald Eagle at Thomas Point
I got to Quiet Waters around 7:00 and spent an hour without finding much. Ducks are still scarce in the park.
Thomas Point was a little better, but the only ducks were Buffleheads and Mallards.
House Sparrow at Annapolis Harbor
Hermit Thrush at Thomas Point
Birds have been scarce lately. I was at Quiet Waters and Thomas Point yesterday without seeing much, and Sands Road, Thomas Point today. Most ducks haven’t arrived yet, and the force hasn’t been with me. I did a find a few birds, and here they are.
