I was at Sandy Point at dawn today, but it didn&#8217;t look promising, so I went straight to Quiet Waters as I suspected Thomas Point would be closed for the snow, and\u00a0 it was, as I found out later.<\/p>\n<p>I looked in my favorite cove first, but didn&#8217;t find much, except a Common Goldeneye, the first I&#8217;ve seen there.<\/p>\n<p>I did much better at the boat dock, where a Bald Eagle provided nice looks, and a few ducks were close enough for ID shots.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=41244\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-41244\"><img
