Green Winged Teals at Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center

The weather was much better today, warmer and far less wind, ‘though it did pick up about 11:00.
I had decided yesterday to head back to CBEC to examine it more thoroughly, and that turned out to be a good decision. I often dither about this problem, so it was nice to have a firm destination.
Ducks were more numerous, and I found a Grebe as well as a Tree Swallow. I also ran into some regulars (Hi, Polly et. al.) who gave me some good tips on birding the area.

Ring Billed Gulls are so common I often pass them by, but this guy posed well.
