Bald Eagles at Possum Point

Where to go? It’s a daily decision, and there’s usually no obvious answer. I know I’ll be out 3-4 hours, and I prefer short travel times, but I’ll sometimes go further.
In any case, I chose Possum Point this morning, and it was the right choice.
I was greeted by the resident Hermit Thrush, then was treated to a fishing showcase by two Eagles. A few more ducks rounded off a very nice morning.

These may be the same Redheads I saw a few days ago.

Ruddy Duck

Ruddy Ducks have been missing f or a while, so It was nice to find a few.

I saw my very first Common Goldeneye at Possum Point about three years ago.

Turkey Vulture

The Turkey Vulture is another bird I usually ignore, but this one flew right over my head.

Double Crested Cormorant

Double Crested Cormorants are common here, but they fly quickly, so you have to be ready when they take off.

I saw two Bald Eagles when I arrived, and it was a thrill to see them fishing so close to my position.
