The sunrise at Sandy Point was quite good. I headed right for Terrapin, as the local park is closed on Tuesdays. Friends have seen some good birds on the Eastern Shore recently and I found them as well.<\/p>\n<p>Terrapin was well populated with ducks and a few passerines are trickling in\u00a0also.<\/p>\n<p>I stopped at Kent Narrows, which continues to be disappointing.<\/p>\n<p>CBEC had hundreds of distant ducks, but I got close enough to a few for some decent images.<\/p>\n<p><a
