It was cloudy and windy this morning, but it cleared up quickly, so I went back to Thomas Point.
There weren’t a lot of birds, but the variety was acceptable, and I got a few decent shots.
I met Darryl and Paula, who often walk their dog, Harley, at the point, and they allowed me to stop in their backyard and get a few closeups.
These Red Breasted Mergansers came out of nowhere, and I was lucky to get a shot at all.
This Mallard was flying in for the corn being fed by the neighbors.
Buffleheads were plentiful today.
Canvasback feeding frenzy.
This might be the same Wood Duck who was hanging out with the swans last year.
This Canvasback is swimming with a female Bufflehead.
A small flock of Hooded Mergansers flew off as I approached.
The Horned Grebe pair is still feeding at the point.
There were only a few Surf Scoters.
Lesser Scaup, landing on the water.
This is my first visit but it won’t be my last. Thank you so much for sharing. Not only are the photos beautiful but they are a help in identifying the different ducks and other birds. I’ll look forward to my next visit.
Thank you Mary Ann. Bear in mind that I call all my Scaups “Lesser” because I’m stupid.
