Eastern Bluebird at Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center.

I stopped at Sandy Point again this morning, but it was yet another plain jane sunrise, so I passed.

Terrapin was almost a complete bust, with only a few geese and seagulls to show for the effort. The small birds seem to be hiding.

CBEC was more active, with ducks and sparrows, as well as a few very fast hawks.
