A cloudy morning gave way to sunshine early, so I went to Thomas Point to see if the duck population had increased (Looking for Snowy Owls all the while).
There was very little at the point so I stopped in a cove on the way out and found a few birds. I also stopped at Quiet Waters, but there wasn’t much to see.
A large flock of Lesser Scaup was at the point.
Mallards are the duck we see most often.
This Mourning Dove seems darker than most.
I almost missed these Tundra Swans
This Great Blue Heron was napping
I don’t often see Hermit Thrushes in bright sunshine.
I’m not sure what this House Finch is eating.
I was impressed by the size of this Wasp Nest.
