Bald Eagle at Possum Point.

It was a dark and cloudy morning…

Again at Sandy Point for sunrise, then on to Possum Point and Thomas Point.

The sunrise was a bit bland, and there weren’t any significant numbers of ducks. Possum Point was better, with waxwings and a nice eagle, and a few other birds.

I didn’t see anything at Jonas Green as I drove past, and Thomas Point continues to be nearly devoid of waterfowl.

Sometimes the sky looks briefly like lava.

I’ve seen Bald Eagles in this tree before, but they usually fly away quickly. Today I was able to sneak a bit closer.
