I spent an hour or so at Sandy Point yesterday, and about the same at Thomas Point this morning.

It’s really cold-in the twenties, and there’s enough wind to feel the effects. It’s amazing to watch these delicate-looking birds  blithely dabble and dive in the near freezing water.

There were lots and lots of birds, but mostly too far out for good images. Try as I might, I could only find the usual suspects, but I’ll keep looking.

And a picture of Cupcake, because it’s my blog and I can put up whatever I want.

I found this Ruddy Duck at Sandy Point.

Several Common Goldeneye hens were at Thomas Point.

There were more Scaup than any other species.

This Song Sparrow was on the beach at Sandy Point.

Many Scaup were feeding at the point.

There were many more Bufflehead hens than drakes.

I found only a few Hooded mergansers.
