Wood Ducks at Quiet Waters

I took another chance on Quiet Waters this morning, with somewhat more success. The weatherman promised a partly cloudy day and that’s what we got. There was plenty of light this morning, and more birds than yesterday.

I also stopped by Thomas Point, which continues to be very slow.
