American Wigeons at Thomas Point

It’s a wigeon kind of week. When the promised rain hadn’t materialized by 9:30, I took a trip to Thomas Point to see what was there.

There were easily a thousand ducks, but most were hidden in the fog. I was pleased to see wigeons in the mix, as I haven’t seen them at Thomas Point before this.

American Wigeons are quite beautiful, but the poor light makes for lousy images.
