Common Goldeneye at Beach Road

I started at Sandy Point this morning, where the sunrise was disappointing, and no interesting birds were to be seen.

I went on to Beach Road, which was much better, with several species of ducks and a very nice River Otter.

Gray and cloudy doesn’t give you much of a sunrise.

I saw at least a dozen Horned Grebes this morning.

These Canvasbacks won’t be here much longer.
