It was very cloudy this morning, so I didn’t leave the house ’til 8:30. That worked out, as Thomas Point was pretty dead through 9:00. A few swans passed over, an eagle was perched in the trees, and several small flocks of Buffleheads were in the area. The Merganser was a singleton, and first of the season.

Only a few Ring Billed Gulls were in the area.

Tundra Swans tend to stay near the shore, where many locals feed them.

This Red Breasted Merganser flew by very quickly, and I didn't recognize it until I checked it on the LCD screen.
