I went to Sandy Point this morning, but the sunrise was so banal that I didn’t take any pictures at all.
I got to Terrapin earlier than usual, which worked out well. There wasn’t much going on, so I explored a bit. The marsh pond was fairly active, and I got most of my images near there. No significant amount of migarnts yet, but enough to be promising.
I went on to CBEC, which was a bit slow, but I found some interesting birds there, as well.
The female Red Winged Blackbird has her own subtle beauty.
I couldn’t pass up this Mockingbird in full sun.
This lone Ring Necked Duck was a surprise.
A single Forster’s Tern was fishing at CBEC.
Tree Swallow boxes line the entrance to CBEC.
I liked the look of this Mallard at rest.
I never get tired of Cardinals in good light.
This Carolina Chickadee was so busy feeding that he ignored me.
There seem to be fewer Bluebirds than in previous years.
Snowy Egrets are just starting to arrive from Mexico and Central America.
Three Ospreys were fishing.
This Wood Duck was guarding his nest box.
