I tried Sandy Point this morning, but the sunrise was really bland.
I tried a couple of places along Thomas Point Road, and did better, but the light wasn’t much.
The point actually had a good variety of birds, but not in any great numbers. I hung around for a couple of hours looking for action shots, then headed home.

I found this Canvasback early.


A few Common Goldeneyes were hanging out near the point.

A single pair of Surf Scoters was foraging at the point.

I saw a single Horned Grebe.

There were only a few Red Breasted Mergansers.

There were 40 or so ducks diving for mussels at the point.


These Tundra Swans were at my friend’s house.

In a flock of Tundra Swans, there’s always a little tension.
