Double Crested Cormorant at Possum Point

I was a bit late to Possum Point this morning, and missed the best sunrise colors. I took a few photos anyway and checked out the birds. Lots of Ospreys, in 5 active nests, and several flocks of Cormorants were the highlights.

Beach Road had a few Scaup and Canvasbacks, as well as Grebes.

I finished up at Jonas Green Park, which didn’t have much to offer.

Possum Point has been a favorite spot for Double Crested Cormorants as long as I’ve been going there.
