An early appointment kept me from getting out until 100:00 or so, but I left for Sandy Point under mostly sunny skies with an optimistic outlook.
A few minutes into the park, optimism was fading fast. There are plenty of birds, including large flocks of Dark Eyed Juncos, Sparrow, woodpeckers and gulls, but other birds aren’t around in any numbers. I walked the entire perimeter of the park with very little success.

This Dark Eyed Junco was part of a large and active flock.

You can see just a hint of epaulette on the right shoulder of this Red Winged Blackbird.

It took some time to get a good look at this Red Bellied Woodpecker who investigated this tree in depth.

Mockingbirds thrive at the park.

Sandy Point Lighthouse. The original lighthouse was built in 1883.
