Yesterday, I tried Possum Point and Sandy Point for sunrise colors, but it wasn’t good enough. I haven’t been to Kent Narrows in a while, so I headed over the bridge to give it a try.
I was pleasantly surprised to find a small flock of Long Tailed Ducks right off the bat. There were plenty of other ducks around, but most were too far off for good images.
Today I tried Possum Point first, but it was still disappointing again, so I went to Quiet Waters. Both the river and the coves were iced up, so I went to Thomas Point. There were plenty of birds at the point, but they were distant and it was damn cold.
I stopped at the cove at the beginning of the park and found some good opportunities. I’ve been having good luck there recently.
I ended with a brief visit to my friend’s house where I got a few decent images.
South River from Quiet Waters.
Redheads are usually not shy.
This Canvas back hen was just chillin’ out.
A Ring Billed Gull flew by quite low.
Several different kinds of ducks were in the flock, including this Scaup.
This Wood Duck has been hanging out with the Mallards for a month or more.
Many Buffleheads were in the area.
This Common Goldeneye flew in as I was waiting.
A Bald Eagle flew right over the cove.
There’s always a few Sparrows in the rocks.
I found only a few Ruddy Ducks.
There were 4-6 Black Ducks.
A small group of Tundra Swans was foraging further from shore.
There were about 6 Long Tailed Ducks, the most I’ve seen in one flock.
