There were plenty of Scaup, but it was windy and cold, so I moved on to Quiet Waters. I found a pair of Wood Ducks, but nothing else. It&#8217;s about time to start having more action. I left and went on to Thomas Point.<\/p>\n<p>There wasn&#8217;t much to see at the point proper, but there was some action in the cove, which made up for the lack of birds elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p><a
