Between snow, bitter cold and a painting project, I’ve been a bit homebound lately.
I’m mostly hanging out locally, though I made a couple of unproductive trips to Sandy Point. Thomas Point has plenty of birds, but some species just haven’t arrived yet.
This Bufflehead was at Thomas Point.
South end of a diving Black Duck.
Female Lesser Scaup.
This Redhead was at Thomas Point.
Tundra Swans are doing well this year.
Hundreds of Canvasbacks are sheltering near Thomas Point.
Long Tailed Ducks are a favorite.
I see Yellow Rumped Warbler in all the parks.
This Eastern Bluebird was feeding at Thomas Point.
Red Bellied Woodpeckers can be found in every local park.
A small flock of Cedar Waxwings was feeding at Thomas Point.
So wonderful to see all the birds around Annapolis now that I no longer live there. Thank you, Hugh — beautiful photos!
Thanks, Dotty. How goes the new home?
We love it! Enjoying all the winter sports — Nordic skating, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing and hiking (with microspikes) on snow-packed trails. Planning to hike up Mt Pierce on Thursday. Still lots of painting to do inside, but it feels more and more like home.
Cool. I expect photos of a Great Gray and a Snowy soon. 🙂
I wish!! 😄
