Rain and Clouds at Thomas Point

We’ve had rain and for for four days, so I was determined to get out today. I’ve been very busy at work, so it was just as well, but I miss my birds.
I arrived at Thomas Point around 9:30 AM, and it was threatening to rain, so I proceeded to the point quickly to see what was around. It was only the usual suspects, and bad lighting, but it felt good to be back in business, even if only for a short while.

The Long Tailed Ducks seldom come in close to shore.

Decent light would help this Bufflehead image.

Cardinal

It began to rain, so I headed back to the truck, to find this Cardinal, who was very interested in my mirror.
