Sandy Point finally provided a colorful dawn! I think this year has been much less interesting than last year, but I haven’t made a proper study of it.
Terrapin was slower than yesterday, but I did find a decent Kinglet that I hadn’t seen yet. A few ducks were a nice addition, but it was a so-so day.

Great set as always Hugh. I do not always reply but I do view. Hope all is well with you. Been a long time.
Thank you!
