Common Goldeneye at Thomas Point.

It was really cold this morning, so I waited for sunrise before venturing out.

I went straight to Thomas Point in hopes of finding some ducks closer in to the point, and I got lucky.

There was a noisy juvenile Eagle at the point, and several small groups of ducks foraging close to the point. They stayed around for a while, moving in and out, and eventually took off to the South.
