Surf Scoter at Thomas Point.

I started out at Sandy Point this morning, but the sunrise didn’t look like much, so I went to Jonas Greene Park, then Thomas Point. Jonas Greene had nothing at all, but Thomas Point was better, even though it was way too windy.

I also made a stop at Quiet Waters, but had no luck.

Later, after a nap, I went back to Thomas Point, which was still windy, but way warmer, and found a couple of good ducks.

I was surprised to find these Lesser Scaup at Thomas Point, as they haven’t been there in a while.
