It was cold this morning, but the skies were clear and wind was calm. I set out for Jonas Green around 7:00, then headed to Thomas Point. I really want to go to Blackwater, but there’s so much ice now the pickings would be slim.
I got lots of cooperation from many ducks.
This unfortunate Canvasback has a fishhook embedded under his eye.
I spent a little more time on Buffleheads than usual.
This Song Sparrow is not a duck.
Ruddy Ducks are still out of the coves because of the ice.
I’m not sure what this Ring Billed Gull has found.
Red Breasted Mergansers fly quickly and it’s tough to get a good flight shot.
These Mallards found temporary refuge on the ice.
Lesser Scaup were outnumbered by Canvasbacks today.
A small flock of Hooded Mergansers was paddling around the point.
These Gulls were very noisy.
You can never take too many pictures, Hugh.
