Too many clouds and fog. The fog stayed around much of the morning.<\/p>\n<p>I went to Terrapin next. I was hoping for some early warblers (Like every year) but it was not to be. The Egrets were a treat, and first of the year.<\/p>\n<p>On to CBEC. I spent some time with the Tree Swallows before circling the lake. There were plenty of ducks, but they stayed well out in the middle.\u00a0 The Ospreys were kind enough to pose a few times.<\/p>\n<p>A decent morning.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_41811\" style=\"width:
