Red Breasted Merganser at Thomas Point

I had intended to try Sandy Point again, but I could see it wasn’t much of a sunrise, so I stopped at Possum Point.  A plain Jane sunrise indeed.

I did find a few distant ducks at Possum Point, but I only managed to photograph an eagle, in poor light.

The cops had temporarily blocked off access to Thomas Point, so I gave Quiet Waters a quick try while I was waiting, and didn’t find anything worthwhile.

The Red Breasted Mergansers I’ve been seeing for a week are still at the point, but not much else.

My guess is that these are the same two Red Breasted Merganser hens I’ve been seeing for a week.

I saw this Bald Eagle from a distance, but wasn’t able to get very close before he spotted me and flew.
