I started at Sandy Point this morning, hoping for a decent sunrise, but it was not to be.

I was at Terrapin right after dawn, and it was almost deserted. A lone Osprey and a couple of Egrets were all that was on offer. A lone Wood Duck hen made brief appearance.

CBEC was next, and the usual Tree Swallow flock was present and very active. I managed a few good shots.

Another single Osprey allowed a few good looks. I made another stop at Sandy point on the way home, but even the gulls were scarce.

I found this early morning Osprey at Terrapin.

The CBEC Barn Swallows nest under the blind.

If you spend enough time, you can get a few good flight shots of the elusive Tree Swallow.

This lone Wood Duck didn’t stay long.
