Surf Scoters at Thomas Point Park

The weatherman has been consistently wrong for two days now. “Sunny and 61” turned out to be cloudy and 40. Who will rid me of this troublesome Winter?
I started at Quiet Waters, where I found some good birds in poor light, then made a fast trip to Thomas Point, where the strong North wind was cold and uncomfortable.
Some Mergansers and Scoters posed willingly, making for a decent day overall.

Some day I’ll get a Belted Kingfisher in perfect light.
