The sunrise was kind of blah again, but Terrapin was more interesting.
I thought I saw a Mallard hanging out with Egrets, but a closer look showed it be a Shoveler. It looked like a hen to me, but apparently it’s a male in eclipse plumage.
A young Eagle also put on a show, and there were more Terns than usual.
A new butterfly and a bullfrog rounded out the morning.
Sunrise at Sandy Point.

Green Herons are still plentiful.
Snowy Egrets at dawn.
There’s still only one Great Egret hanging around.
Ospreys will be with us well into October.
Sometimes an Osprey seems to be looking right at you.
This immature Bald Eagle was checking out the scene.
This is a Forster’s Tern.
Caspian Terns were fishing alongside the Forster’s.
Snowy Egrets will be plentiful for a while.
This Northern Shoveler is probably an early migrant.
This is a Skipper.
This is a Red Spotted Purple, a butterfly I haven’t seen before.
This Bullfrog is always in the same spot.
