After shooting the sunrise at Sandy Point, I go to Terrapin around 7:30 and immediately found a thousand or more migrants in the field near the parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>Chipping and Song Sparrows dominated, but there were plenty of others as well. Soon, I was only shooting the best, closest birds in the best light, and I still had plenty of choices. I walked to the marsh ponds and the beach, as well, but most of the action was in the big field.<\/p>\n<p>It was a great day after so many bleak ones.<\/p>\n<p><a
