The early skies were very cloudy, so I delayed my departure until 7:00. I began at Possum Point, which was disappointing, with only a few ducks and geese.

Thomas Point was more promising. Hundreds of ducks were in view, but most were a bit too far for good images. I met a couple of fellow birders, though, and we chatted a while.

I stopped at my friend’s house again and got some good close up shots.

The Lesser Scaup was at Possum Point.

I think this is the first time I’ve caught a Canvasback with its beak open.

Ruddy Ducks are numerous everywhere I go.

Several Long Tailed Ducks were at the point.

There weren’t as many Buffleheads as usual.
