Wood Duck at Terrapin Nature Park.

Posted on by

I went to Sandy Point this morning, but the sunrise was so banal that I didn’t take any pictures at all.

I got to Terrapin earlier than usual, which worked out well. There wasn’t much going on, so I explored a bit. The marsh pond was fairly active, and I got most of my images near there. No significant amount of migarnts yet, but enough to be promising.

I went on to CBEC, which was a bit slow, but I found some interesting birds there, as well.

The female Red Winged Blackbird has her own subtle beauty.

I couldn’t pass up this Mockingbird in full sun.

  1. I’d hoped to make it out to GP, SP or CBEC while back in the area, especially for a sunrise, but so far I haven’t made it. Maybe this weekend. Love your pictures.
