Imagine my surprise to see a slightly cloudy day, rapidly becoming sunny.<\/p>\n<p>I went to Possum Point first, in hopes of finding some interesting birds, but I had little luck. There were a few birds, but nothing exciting.<\/p>\n<p>I went to Thomas Point next, which was better, but it&#8217;s still the same old birds. Good light gave me a few good pics.<\/p>\n<p>I finished up at Quiet Waters, which was nearly barren. There&#8217;s still a lot of ice in the river, so it may be few days before the ducks show up.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_41439\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
