We had rain yesterday, so I only got out for a short time. Sandy Point was a waste of time, and I didn’t see much at Jonas Green Park, either.
I did OK at Quiet Waters, so I went back this morning. It’s very slow, but there’s a few good birds around if you’re willing to wait for the action.
I was undecided about going to Thomas Point because it’s still early in the season. I gave it a try and was rewarded with two Brown Pelicans who flew by as I arrived. A Loon and a Pileated Woodpecker made for a decent day.
Quiet Waters.
This Gadwall was at the pond across from Jonas Green. You can almost always find ducks there.
I was really drawn to the colors in the water surrounding these Mallards.
I saw this Pileated Woodpecker at a distance yesterday. When I heard him this afternoon, I was able to slowly sneak up on him.
I’m always pleased to find a Common Loon.
Buffleheads will be at Quiet Waters for quite while.
This Canada Goose was at Jonas Green.
My timing was perfect to find these Brown Pelicans. A couple of minutes later and I would have missed them.
