Red Throated Loon at Thomas Point

I went to Possum Point for the sunrise, which was disappointing. I never did see the sun at all.

A couple of eagles entertained me,along with a large raft of Ruddy Ducks and dozens of Cormorants.

A quick stop at Jonas Green found some fighting House sparrows, a sight that was a first for me.

Thomas Point was almost deserted, except for a couple of Loons, a bird I like but don’t often see.

This Double Crested Cormorant splashed around in the water after he landed, something I haven’t seen before.

This distant Bald Eagle seemed content to just enjoy the view.

Piebald Deer 1

I’ve seen several Piebald Deer at Possum Point, but it’s usually too dark for a picture. This one stayed in the headlights just long enough for a shot through the windshield.
