American Redstart at Terrapin Nature Park.

The sunrise at Sandy Point was better than average, and a few Sanderlings posed for me. The

bird population at Sandy Point is increasing, but I haven’t seen much variety yet.

I spooked a couple of Wood Ducks at Terrapin, but there were no other surprises. We’ve had a couple of days of North winds, which should bring in more migrants, but no luck yet.

American Redstarts often spread their tails like this, perhaps to flush insects. Although I’ve seen it many times, I don’t often get such good images.
